In this example, each electrical impulse, each deflection on the trace, is caused by a brief pulse of light.

(a) Determine the orbital deflection of the asteroid as a result of the impact, to an accuracy of approximately 10 per cent

In the course of the work, a software package has been developed to simulate a possible impact hazard and to determine an optimal deflection strategy.

One of the three, the Don Quijote mission, one purpose of which was to attempt, for the first time, a deflection manoeuvre, was selected in 2004 for further study and possible implementation.

(a) The concept of a NEO precursor mission, as opposed to a costly fully fledged deflection mission test that could face a large number of uncertainties, had attracted considerable interest among the NEO community.
