Lampland a member the
606), the largest asteroid family in the outer main belt consisting of nearly 10,000 asteroids.[3][7]: 23 It orbits the Sun at a distance of 2.7–3.3 AU once every 5 years and 3 months (1,915 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.10 and an inclination of 10° with respect to the ecliptic.[1]
The asteroid was first identified as 1941 SP at
Uccle Observatory in September 1941. The body's observation arc begins with a precovery at Palomar Observatory in August 1951, more than 11 years prior to its official discovery observation at Goethe Link.[6]
