The Near-Earth Asteroid (NEA) 68216 (2001 CV26) was discovered February 1 2001 by the LINEAR NEA Discovery Survey (MPEC 2001-F15). With an Absolute Magnitude H=16.2 and a Minimum Orbit Intersection Distance MOID=0.023 AU, it has been flagged as a Potentially Hazardous Asteroid (PHA) by the Minor Planet Center. The asteroid's 2009-2010 apparition allowed for radar observation at both the Arecibo and Goldstone facilities in October 2009.
