(163899) 2003 SD220 (2003 SD220,2000 AD229) The asteroid NEO NEO / PHA was photographed on the second night of the December work. The Slow Group of Asteroids was discovered by the Loneos exploration program at the Lowel Observatory at Anderson Mesa Station (699) on September 29, 2003. The size of the asteroid is 0.791km and the rotation time is 285h / r. According to NEOWISE observations, the spectral class estimate of Sr. This asteroid of Aten orbits the Earth every 0.75 (275 days) every year. There are radar series on the asteroid, source Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/(163899)_2003_SD220 . When photographed, the asteroid was 0.05484au away and the nearest 17.12.2021 0.03628au. The description time was too long for this object, I had to measure it from an elongated image, maybe for this reason the measurement values also differed unusually much from the predictions? The orbit of the asteroid goes inside the orbit of Venus every turn, but stays inside the orbit of Earth, so both planets have a strong effect on the orbit, can this explain the difference? This asteroid is also the most easily accessible destination for space travel and possible up to 178 days of travel time.
