GRASS is a tiny instrument that can measure the gravity levels of an asteroid and will be carried by Hera to measure the minuscule gravity levels of Dimorphos, the orbiting moonlet of the 65803 Didymos binary system. GRASS is designed to measure the expected gravity levels and the precise mass of the Dimorphos asteroid.
