At this speed, the asteroid can orbit the earth in 45 minutes.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that according to the former CCTV news report, Wu Yanhua, deputy director of the National Space Administration, said China will start to establish a near Earth Asteroid defense system to jointly deal with the threat of near earth asteroid impact and contribute to the protection of the earth and human security**

*Wu Yanhua said that we should strive to implement a threatening asteroid at the end of the 14th five year plan or in 2025 and 2026. We should not only carry out close observation, but also carry out nearby impact, so as to change its orbit and carry out technical experiments, * so as to truly make China's new contribution to dealing with the threat of asteroids and extraterrestrial objects to the earth's home in the future.
