Nausicaa moves at a distance of 1.8 ( perihelion ) to 3.0 ( aphelion ) astronomical units in 3.7 years around the sun . The orbit is inclined 6.8 ° to the ecliptic , the orbital eccentricity is 0.25.
Nausicaa has an average diameter of about 99 kilometers. It has a light, silicate-containing surface with an albedo of 0.33. It rotates around its own axis in around 13.6 hours.
Nausicaa may be accompanied by a natural satellite .
