15602 (2000 GA108) is a large asteroid orbiting between Mars and Jupiter in the main portion of the asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified 2000 GA108 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2000 GA108 orbits the sun every 1,690 days (4.63 years), coming as close as 2.71 AU and reaching as far as 2.84 AU from the sun. 2000 GA108 is about 12.6 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, comparable in size to the city of Cleveland, Ohio.
The rotation of 2000 GA108 has been observed. It completes a rotation on its axis every 3.72 hours.
2000 GA108's orbit is 1.73 AU from Earth's orbit at its closest point. This means that there is an extremely wide berth between this asteroid and Earth at all times.
Orbital simulations conducted by NASA JPL's CNEOS do not show any close approaches to Earth.
2000 GA108's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Sept. 24, 1960. It was last officially observed on June 11, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 3,037 observations used to determine its orbit.
