High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! 4660 Nereus is a small asteroid. It was discovered by Eleanor F. Helin on February 28, 1982, approximately 1 month after a near pass by the Earth. It is named after Nereus, a Titan in Greek mythology. Nereus is potentially a very important asteroid. It is an Apollo and Mars-crosser asteroid, with an orbit that frequently comes very close to Earth, and because of this it is exceptionally accessible to spacecraft. Indeed, because of its small size and close orbit, its delta-V for rendezvous of ~5 km/s is smaller than the Moon's which is about 6.3 km/s. Nereus makes seven approaches to Earth of less than 5 million km from 1900-2100.
