NASA did something that's never been done before, deliberately hit an asteroid in an attempt to divert it's orbit. Did it work? How did DART hit the asteroid?

Mark Jensenius is DART’s SMART Nav engineer. He designed and implemented the SMART Nav Guidance algorithm that was used in the terminal phase of the DART mission. He is a guidance, navigation and controls engineer at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (Johns Hopkins APL), which built the DART spacecraft and is managing the mission for NASA’s Planetary Defense Coordination Office.
