(242479) Marijampole is an asteroid of the main inner belt discovered by the Lithuanian astronomers Kazimieras Černis and Justas Zdanavičius on October 12, 2004 at the Molėtai Astronomical Observatory in Molėtai , northeast Lithuania, in the Utena district ( IAU code 152).

Mean solar distance ( major semi-axis ), eccentricity and inclination of the orbit plane of the asteroid roughly resemble the orbital data of the members of the Flora family, a large group of asteroids named after (8) Flora . Asteroids of this family move in a 4: 9 orbital resonance with the planet Mars around the sun . The group is also called the Ariadne family, after the asteroid (43) Ariadne .

(242479) Marijampole was named after the Lithuanian city of Marijampolė on November 17, 2013 .
