 Icarus (minor planet 1566)
Its orbit carries it well within the orbit of Mercury, but not quite as close to the Sun as 2000 BD19 (0.09AU), 1995 CR (0.12 AU), or 3200 Phaethon (0.14 AU).
Icarus ranks fifth on the list of potentially hazardous objects, though it will not come within several million kilometers of Earth in the foreseeable future.
During its last "near miss," on June 14, 1968, it approached us to within 6.5 million km - never a threat, but enough to have one cult retreating to a peak in Colorado to escape the anticipated slide of California into the Pacific.

Icarus makes a close approach to Earth at gaps of 9,19, or 38 years.
In 1967, Professor Paul Sandorff from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology gave his students the task to devise a plan as to destroy Icarus in the case it was on a collision course with Earth.
This plan is known as Project Icarus (which was the basis for the 1979 science fiction film Meteor, starring Sean Connery).

In Greek mythology, Icarus was the son of the artisan and builder Daedalus, who built the Minotaur's Labyrinth and a number of intricate devices for King Minos of Crete.
However, caught up in the ecstasy of flight, Icarus climbed too high, and, as warned, the wings melted and he fell into the sea and drowned.
There is also an asteroid, 1566 Icarus, discovered in 1949; it is also the title of a scientific journal of solar system studies and the nameof a number of literary and film characters.

However, when the model developed here is used instead, the enhanced mobility may protect most 10 m bodies from being disrupted on their way to the resonances, thus inhibiting to some extent the importance of the collisional cascade effects.
A detailed analysis of the orbital dynamics of the near-Earth asteroid (1566) Icarus represents a special problem where the results of this paper might provide an element of the solution.
Indeed, preliminary attempt to model the Yarkovsky semimajor axis drift for Icarus's orbit (Vokrouhlický, in preparation) indicates that the current models fail to predict the observed value as reported by Sitarski (1991).

 Der Merkurkreuzer (1566) Icarus im Juni 1996
Der 1949 von Walter Baade entdeckte Kleinplanet Icarus gehört zu den Apollo-Objekten, also zu der Gruppe von Asteroiden, die die Erdbahn kreuzen, aber deren Umlaufszeit noch größer als ein Jahr ist (1,12 Jahre).
Da Icarus zum Beobachtungszeitraum sich mit einer Geschwindigkeit von ca 17'' in der Minute bewegte, ist klar, daß jede andere Aufsuchmethode sehr mühselig geworden wäre.
Bedingt durch die Lichtschwäche von Icarus und der umgebenden Sterne mußte ausschließlich extrafoveal (also mit indirektem Sehen) beobachtet werden.

 Including relativistic effects in orbit computations
The Lowell Observatory ASTORB database also neglects relativity; the documentation states that this matters slightly for (1566) Icarus, and probably for other objects that approach the sun closely.
Some time ago, I had tested my Integrat software by going to the JPL Horizons ephemeris site and getting osculating orbital elements for (1566) Icarus for the epochs JD 2452400.5 = 6 May 2002 and JD 2380000.5 = 14 Feb 1804 (Horizons wouldn't go back much farther).
I chose (1566) Icarus because its elongated orbit with a perihelion of only.187 AU is strongly affected by relativity.

"[Baade] has the distinction of discovering the asteroid with the smallest perihelion distance, and the first body aside from comets and meteors [sic] to pass within the orbit of Mercury." This asteroid became known as 1566 Icarus, a member of the so-called Apollo group.
Its namesake was first observed in 1932 but was lost and not rediscovered until 1973.
