Decent attempt. In intro, mention the full form of DART, rest is fine. Mention aim separately- test the newly developed technology that would allow a spacecraft to crash into an asteroid and change its course. Asked specifically.
Then come to methodology etc. Methodology and components part is fine, although methodology can be elaborated a bit -kinetic impact deflection by deliberately crashing itself into the moonlet at a speed of approximately 6.6 km/s, will change the orbital period of the moonlet by several minutes.
Good that you have drawn a diagram.
Conclusion is also fine.
Keep writing. 🙂
