Scientists studying asteroid deflection have focused on secondary objects such as S/2020 (2013 PY6), a moonlet orbiting the near-Earth asteroid 2013 PY6. In 2022 NASA intentionally crashed a probe into just such an object, successfully altering its orbit. Scientists have yet to demonstrate, ________ that 2013 PY6 and other primary objects would be similarly affected.
