Answer:

The DART mission proved to be successful. Its ultimate goal was to alter the trajectory of the asteroid Dimorphous. It was successful because the asteroid's trajectory was in fact altered. This mission is the first mission that intentionally altered the trajectory of a non man made object in space.
