This large change indicates the recoil from material excavated from the asteroid and ejected into space by the impact (known as ejecta) contributed significant momentum change to the asteroid, beyond that of the DART spacecraft itself. Researchers found the impact caused an instantaneous slowing in Dimorphos' speed along its orbit of about 2.7 millimeters per second — again indicating the recoil from ejecta played a major role in amplifying the momentum change directly imparted to the asteroid by the spacecraft. That momentum change was amplified by a factor of 2.2 to 4.9 (depending on the mass of Dimorphos), indicating the momentum change transferred because of ejecta production significantly exceeded the momentum change from the DART spacecraft alone.<sup id="cite_ref-nasa-march2023_53-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-nasa-march2023-53"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>48<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> While the orbital change was small, the change is in the velocity and over the course of years will accumulate to a large change in position.<sup id="cite_ref-54" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-54"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>49<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> For a hypothetical Earth-threatening body, even such a tiny change could be sufficient to mitigate or prevent an impact, if applied early enough.
