We show the utility of the Systematic Ranging technique by analyzing the orbit determination of asteroid 2004 FU, which passed approximately 6400 km from the surface of the Earth on March 31, 2004. The limited observations introduce strong nonlinearities that must be accounted for when estimating the actual encounter distance.To search for other articles by the author(s) go to: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html
