3361 Orpheus (1982 HR) is an Apollo asteroid that was discovered on 24 April 1982 by Carlos Torres at Cerro El Roble Astronomical Station. Its eccentric orbit crosses that of Mars and Earth, and approaches Venus as well. From 1900 to 2100 it passes closer than 30 Gm to Venus 11, Earth 33, and Mars 14 times. It passed by Earth at a distance of about 0.03 AU (4.5 million km; 12 LD) in 1937, 1978, 1982, and 2021 and will again in 2025.[1]

3361 Orpheus is a potentially hazardous asteroid (PHA) because its minimum orbit intersection distance (MOID) is less than 0.05 AU (7.5 million km; 19 LD) and its diameter is greater than 140 meters. The Earth-MOID is 0.0139 AU (2,080,000 km; 1,290,000 mi).[1] With an observation arc of 36 years, the orbit is well-determined for the next several hundred years.

The orbital solution includes non-gravitational forces.[1]

Missions

3361 Orpheus had been one of the originally proposed targets for the Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous (NEAR) mission.

The proposed AIDA mission's spacecraft, Double Asteroid Redirection Test was a fly-by observation of 3361 Orpheus during its trajectory to asteroid 65803 Didymos but later cancelled.[4]

(3361) Орфей (др.-греч. Ὀρφεύς) — небольшой околоземный астероид из группы аполлонов, характеризующийся довольно вытянутой орбитой, с эксцентриситетом 0,32, он пересекает не только орбиту Земли, но и Марса. Астероид был открыт 24 апреля 1982 года чилийским астрономом Карлосом Торресом в обсерватории Серро-Эль-Робле и назван в честь Орфея, певца и музыканта в древнегреческой мифологии[1].
