NASA won’t release its 70-page report on why the DART spacecraft didn’t complete its mission last year because of its sensitive content, the agency said. “The official DART Mishap Investigation Report will not be publicly released because it contains information that is protected by U.S. International Traffic in Arms Regulations,” Kim Newton, a NASA spokesperson, told TechNewsWorld. Instead NASA plans to issue an executive summary that will provide information on what happened, while omitting ITAR-protected details.
