An in-track burn separates by changing the orbital period, so displacement grows as Δx = 3·Δv·t. Lead time, not delta-v, is what buys miss distance — the same burn an hour later is worth proportionally less.

Low-thrust system — the burn spans a meaningful fraction of an orbit, so it is modelled as finite rather than impulsive and the achieved delta-v is direction-averaged.
Downstream conjunctions
not modelled
No downstream screening on file for this burn. Historical burns retain their record but not the re-screening that followed.
