About Ryugu
Discovered in 1999 by LINEAR. IAU designation: 162173 Ryugu. Estimated diameter: 0.87 km. Absolute magnitude H: 19.55.
NEA tipo C. Hayabusa2 (JAXA) coletou amostras em 2018-2019, retornou em 2020.
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.
