2009 KD5 was discovered May 26 2009 by the Observatorio Astronomico de Mallorca LSSS (La Sagra Sky Survey) Near-Earth Object (NEO) survey (MPEC 2009-K55) and identified as a Potentially Hazardous Asteroid (PHA) by the Minor Planet Center. The object's 2010 closest approach to the Earth is quite distant (delta=0.24 AU on June 29 2010). However, the apparition allows the NEO to be observed under slowly varying illumination and viewing geometry.
