Not sure. Phobos' orbital velocity is a bit more than 2.1 km/sec, and the press release says that the avoidance maneuver allows MAVEN to miss the intersect point by 2.5 min so...minimum 315 km? That doesn't account for MAVEN's own velocity at this point in its elliptical orbit, though.

A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.
