433 Eros (A898 PA)
Tracked by NASA JPL Near-Earth Object Web Service (NeoWs), 433 Eros (A898 PA) is a S / S body measuring between 16840m and 16840m in diameter. On 2056-01-24, it completes a cislunar approach at 58.29 Lunar Distances (22,407,095 km) with a relative heliocentric velocity of 5.82 km/s.
433 Eros (A898 PA) (JPL ID 433) is a S / S Near-Earth Asteroid spanning 16840.0m–16840.0m (mean 16840m). On 2056-01-24, it transits Earth's cislunar surveillance sector at 58.291 Lunar Distances (22,407,095 km) with a relative velocity of 5.82 km/s and a theoretical kinetic energy reserve of 28846560.75 megatons TNT. Its well-constrained heliocentric ephemeris passes safely outside Earth capture corridors while serving as an orbital calibration target.
