2011 MD was observed by the Spitzer Space Telescope in February 2014 and estimated to be 6 meters (20 ft) in diameter. [4] The asteroid is a porous rubble pile with a density similar to water. [4] On 19 June 2014, NASA reported that asteroid 2011 MD was a prime candidate for capture by the Asteroid Redirect Mission (ARM) in the early 2020s. [10]

A list of known near-Earth asteroid close approaches less than 1 lunar distance (384,400 km or 0.00257 AU) from Earth in 2011. [note 1] Rows highlighted red indicate objects which were not discovered until after closest approach
Recent images released from NASA have revealed new information on the origins of the asteroid system. Nearly two years ago, the Double Asteroid Redirection Test spacecraft, or DART, collided with ...
More than one asteroid per year may be listed if its geocentric distance [note 1] is within a tenth of the lunar distance, or 0.10 LD. For comparison, since a satellite in a geostationary orbit has an altitude of about 36,000 km (22,000 mi), then its geocentric distance is 0.11 LD (approximately three times the width of the Earth).
