7029 (1993 XT2) is a large asteroid that orbits between Mars and Jupiter in the outer reaches of the main asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified 1993 XT2 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
1993 XT2 orbits the sun every 2,130 days (5.83 years), coming as close as 3.06 AU and reaching as far as 3.41 AU from the sun. 1993 XT2 is about 18.0 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, comparable in size to the city of Philadelphia.
The rotation of 1993 XT2 has been observed. It completes a rotation on its axis every 10.00 hours.
1993 XT2's orbit is 2.07 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.
1993 XT2's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Nov. 7, 1986. It was last officially observed on April 21, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 3,412 observations used to determine its orbit.
