van de Kamp is a large asteroid orbiting between Mars and Jupiter in the main portion of the asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified van de Kamp as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
van de Kamp orbits the sun every 1,500 days (4.11 years), coming as close as 2.30 AU and reaching as far as 2.84 AU from the sun. van de Kamp is about 13.6 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, comparable in size to the city of Cleveland, Ohio.
The rotation of van de Kamp has been observed. It completes a rotation on its axis every 36.00 hours.
van de Kamp's orbit is 1.31 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.
van de Kamp's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Aug. 31, 1927. It was last officially observed on April 12, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 4,160 observations used to determine its orbit.
