NEO 2026 FG6 Update

Following its initial identification on March 25, 2026, asteroid 2026 FG6 has undergone rapid orbital refinement based on additional observations extending the data arc to 3 days. The updated solution (JPL Solution 3, dated March 28, 2026) incorporates 29 observations, resulting in reduced uncertainties across all orbital elements while maintaining a condition code of 7. This reflects a typical early-stage solution for newly discovered small Near-Earth Objects (NEOs), where continued tracking is required to achieve long-term orbital certainty.


Updated Orbital Solution (JPL 3)

Element Previous (JPL 2) Updated (JPL 3) Change
Eccentricity (e) 0.228165 0.228035 Refined (-0.00013)
Semi-major axis (a) 1.067528 au 1.067428 au Refined
Inclination (i) 13.8936° 13.8866° Minor adjustment
Orbital Period 402.872 days 402.816 days Refined
Earth MOID 0.000450813 au 0.000451072 au Stable
