Scientific paper

The Near-Earth Object (NEO) 2002 VE68 was discovered by the LONEOS Survey on Nov 11 2002 (MPEC 2002-V52). With a semi-major axis a=0.723 AU, 2002 VE68 is in a 1:1 mean motion resonance with Venus and can be considered a quasi-satellite of the planet. Orbital integrations by Mikkola et al. (2004) suggest that 2002 VE68 was likely an NEO injected into its current orbit by a close Earth encounter approximately 7000 years ago and will remain a Venusian quasi-satellite for another 500 years.
