(2365) Interkosmos is an asteroid of the central main belt that was discovered on December 30, 1980 by the Czech astronomer Zdeňka Vávrová at the Kleť observatory ( IAU code 046) near Český Krumlov . There had been several sightings of the asteroid before, including on September 18 and October 20, 1955 (1955 SJ 1 and 1955 UY) at the Goethe Link Observatory in Indiana , on March 9 and 11, 1969 with the provisional designation 1969 EA at the Crimean Observatory in Nautschnyj and on March 9, 1973 (1973 ED) at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile .
The asteroid is part of the Astraea family, a group of asteroids named after (5) Astraea .
The mean diameter of the asteroid was calculated to be 14.527 km (± 0.121) and the albedo to be 0.238 (± 0.020). The rotation period is a little over six hours.
(2365) Interkosmos was named on February 8, 1982 after Interkosmos , a scientific program of the Soviet Union for the integration of non-Soviet technology in the Soviet space program.
