(277810) 2006 FV35

(277810) 2006 FV35, provisional designation 2006 FV35, is a sub-kilometer near-Earth asteroid in the dynamical Apollo asteroid group, discovered by Spacewatch at Kitt Peak National Observatory, Arizona, on 29 March 2006.[1] It is a quasi-satellite of Earth.[5] It is also notable for having a low delta-v requirement for rendezvous.[4] Although its orbital period is almost exactly 1 year, the orbit of 2006 FV35 has a high eccentricity which causes it to cross the paths of both Venus and Mars.

    Transfer energy

    With a semi-major axis of almost exactly 1 astronomical unit, 2006 FV35 has a relatively low transfer energy from Earth. The delta-v required to transfer to the asteroid varies between 11 and 13 km/s; this change in delta-v oscillates over an approximately 200-year period with the current transfer cost near its maximum of 13 km/s.[4]

    gollark: Yep! CC, anyway.
    gollark: Shouldn't you work on the asm2bf target first?
    gollark: It probably can be? It would just be annoying.
    gollark: <@113673208296636420> This is very synchronous code and therefore heretical.
    gollark: PotatOS, for instance, relies on some advanced sandboxing stuff which leans quite heavily on Lua environments.
