Near-Earth object / ID: 2002201
2201 Oljato is a near-Earth object of the APO orbit class — Near-Earth asteroid orbits which cross the Earth’s orbit similar to that of 1862 Apollo. Radar and photometric estimates put it between 2.3km - 5.1km across. It has been followed since 1931-12-03 across 1905 recorded observations. Its next approach to Earth is 2040-Dec-16 12:56, passing at 38.864 LD. JPL classifies it as a potentially hazardous asteroid, a label driven by its size and how close its orbit comes to ours — not by a predicted impact.
