2002 AT4

mp|2002 AT|4 (also written 2002 AT4) is an as yet unnamed and un-numbered near-Earth asteroid. It is approximately 160-370 metres in diameter. It has an eccentric orbit that brings it sometimes close to Earth's orbit, and sometimes halfway between Mars and Jupiter. It is a D-type asteroid which means that it may be reddish in colour.

mp|2002 AT|4 is one of two asteroids under consideration by the European Space Agency as a candidate target for the Don Quijote mission to study the effects of impacting a spacecraft into an asteroid.
