The asteroid belongs to the Nysa group, a group of asteroids named after (44) Nysa (also called the Hertha family, after (135) Hertha ). The ageless (not osculating ) orbital elements of (1932) Jansky are almost identical with those of the smaller, if one of the absolute brightness starting from 15.0 to 13.6, asteroids (12638) Frans Bruggen .
(1932) Jansky was named after Karl Guthe Jansky , an American physicist who was the first to discover radio astronomy in 1932 .
