(1956) Artek is an asteroid of the main outer belt that was discovered by the Soviet astronomer Lyudmila Tschernych on October 8, 1969 at the Crimean Observatory in Nautschnyj ( IAU code 095).
The asteroid belongs to the Themis family, a group of asteroids named after (24) Themis . The timeless (non- osculating ) orbital elements of (1956) Artek are almost identical to those of the smaller, if one assumes the absolute brightness of 14.8 compared to 12.1, asteroids (126561) 2002 CF 105 .
When Roberto Crippa and Federico Manzini examined the light curve of (1956) Artek from February 5 to 9, 2006, it could not be determined. Further observations by other astronomers and programs in 2009 and 2018 also brought no results.
(1956) Artek was named on June 30, 1977 after the all-union pioneer camp Artek . Artek was the central pioneer camp of the pioneer organization Vladimir Ilyich Lenin in the Soviet Union. It is located near the city of Gurzuf on the Crimean peninsula in what is now Ukraine .
