1956 Artek, provisional designation 1969 TX1, is a dark asteroid in the outer regions of the asteroid belt about 19 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on October 8, 1969 by Russian astronomer Lyudmila Chernykh at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory in Nauchnyj.[7] The C-type asteroid with an albedo of about 0.08, orbits the Sun at a distance of 2.9–3.5 AU once every 5 years and 9 months (2,095 days). It has a provisional rotation period of 9.4 hours.[6] It belongs to the Themis family.[3]
It was named after the first The first All-Union Young Pioneer camp, Artek (Арте́к) in Crimea.[2]
