From: Gravitational perturbations correlated with the asteroid kinetic impact deflection technique
The relative distances between the asteroid and the Earth (\(\delta\)) when the impulse of −20 mm/s is applied at the mean anomalies of 324° (blue line) and 334° (green dashed line), in June 17, 1980 and June 5, 1980, respectively. We zoomed in on the first two close encounters to better visualize the variations in the approach between the asteroid and the Earth.
