We present the results of the analysis of spectral observations taken a few minutes before, at the time, and in the first minutes after the impact of the DART probe on the asteroid Dimorphos. Our analysis showed signs of Na I, Li I, and K I alkali metal emissions appearing at the time of the impact and for several minutes after it.

FAI employees have done a lot of scientific and organizational work within the framework of the project "Creation of a National Virtual Observatory based on robotic telescopes, Big-Data technologies and high-performance computing systems", which allowed Kazakhstan to be elected a member of the International Virtual Observatory Alliance (IVOA).
