88253 (2001 FV69) is a mid-sized asteroid that orbits between Mars and Jupiter in the outer reaches of the main asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified 2001 FV69 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2001 FV69 orbits the sun every 2,880 days (7.89 years), coming as close as 3.45 AU and reaching as far as 4.46 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2001 FV69 is probably between 6.376 to 14.257 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the San Francisco Bay.
2001 FV69's orbit is 2.47 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.
2001 FV69's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Feb. 19, 1977. It was last officially observed on Jan. 22, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 1,236 observations used to determine its orbit.
