		Researchers are speculating that 2002 AA29 could be visited by astronauts or used to understand the threat to our planet posed by such rocks from space.
		2002 AA29 was discovered by the linear automated sky survey project on 9 January 2002.
		It is clear that 2002 AA29 was discovered by accident at a time when it was at one end of its horseshoe orbit and, being at its closest to the Earth, was bright enough to be detected in an automated sky survey.

	2002 AA29 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Asteroid 2002 AA also written 2002 AA29) is a near-Earth asteroid discovered in January 2002 by the LINEAR asteroid survey.
		Richard Gott and Edward Belbruno from Princeton University have speculated that 2002 AA might have formed together with Earth and Theia, the postulated planet that, according to the Giant Impact theory collided with Earth in its early history.
		The orbit of the asteroid is such that it would be relatively easy for a spacecraft to retrieve rock samples from it and bring them to Earth for analysis.

	Rendezvous with Earth Co-Orbital Object, Asteroid 2002 AA29
		AA29 is in a ‘horseshoe’ orbit - meaning that it closely follows Earth’s orbit, then turns around when it gets near the Earth and follows Earth’s orbit in the reverse direction.
		AA29 approaches the Earth on its leading side because of its slightly larger semi-major axis, which results in a smaller mean motion.
		AA29 possess an exceptional opportunity for scientist to ascertain the composition of an asteroid in a relatively cost-efficient mission.

		Asteroid 2002 AA29 is only about 100 metres wide and never comes closer than 5.8 million kilometres (3.6 million miles) to our planet.
		General Simon Worden of the United States Space Command described it as a "near-Earth object that is close to being trapped by the Earth as a second natural satellite".
		This puts 2002 AA29 is in the same class as 3753 Cruithne, a similar rocky body in a horseshoe orbit around the Earth.

		Two objects (2002 AA29 and 2000 PH5) displayed a recent abrupt reversal in the evolution of their ecliptic longitude with respect to that of Earth, indicating a classic horseshoe or tadpole behavior.

		The asteroid, called 2002 AA29, is in a precise circular orbit that follows the same general path as the Earth around the sun.
		It was discovered last year by an Air Force telescope that is part of a NASA programme to find and plot asteroids that orbit near the Earth.
		Even if 2002 AA29 did hit the Earth, it would not cause planetwide destruction as did the 10km-wide asteroid that hit and killed the dinosaurs some 23 million years ago.

		General Simon Worden of the United States Space Command described 2002 AA29 as a “near Earth object that is close to being trapped by the Earth as a second natural satellite.”
		The asteroid, which moves in a horseshoe-shaped orbit, was nearing the end of its orbit before turning around when it was spotted in the sky survey.
		Detailed observations of its trajectory through space show 2002 AA29 will reach its closest approach to Earth –; 12 times the distance between Earth and the Moon – the evening of January 8, 2003.

		Because it was so faint and moving fast a set of 50 individual 30 second exposures were stacked together, so the stars appear as trails of dots and the asteroid as a single dot.
		When the image above was taken 2002 AA was moving slightly faster than the Earth, in the eastern sky before dawn.
		But at this point the effect of the Earth's gravity causes 2002 AA to travel slightly slower than the Earth and 95 years later the Earth catches 2002 AA up and the whole process then repeats.

		"Among asteroids, the orbit of 2002 AA29 is the most strikingly Earth-like, since it is very nearly at the same distance from the Sun and also very circular," Conners and his colleagues write in the journal Meteoritics and Planetary Science.
		But like most asteroids, AA29 travels at a strong inclination to the Earths orbit about 10 degrees in this case which means it moves above and below the plane that Earth moves in.
		But 2002 AA29 represents what Conners and his colleagues say is a new class of object near Earth.

		Soon after Asteroid 2002 AA was discovered on 2002 January 9 by the LINEAR asteroid survey, it became clear that it's orbit is very similar to that of the Earth.
		Later last year, the object made some headlines when astronomers found out that the space rock, only about 100 meters in size, will temporary become a "quasi-satellite" of the Earth in about 600 years.
