About Ganymed

IAU designation: 1036 Ganymed. Estimated diameter: 50.29 km. Absolute magnitude H: 9.17.

NEA classe Amor (orbita externa a da Terra mas cruza a de Marte).

Limitation

Osculating elements are from epoch 2461000.5 JD. Keplerian propagation ignores perturbations (especially Jupiter for belt asteroids). For precision beyond months, consult JPL Horizons.
