Sun-facing diffractive sails can generate H-reversal trajectories that hit Apophis with roughly 21% more impact velocity and 35% shorter flight time than reflective sails, with a two-stage control adding more speed.

Sun-Facing Diffractive Sail H-Reversal Trajectory: Theoretical Feasibility, Design Strategies, and Applications
Sun-facing diffractive sails can generate H-reversal trajectories that hit Apophis with roughly 21% more impact velocity and 35% shorter flight time than reflective sails, with a two-stage control adding more speed.
