    2892 Filipenko, provisionally known as 1983 AX2, is a main-belt asteroid, 56 kilometer in diameter, discovered on January 13, 1983 by Lyudmila Karachkina at Nauchnyj.[1]

    Photometric observations of this asteroid collected during 2004 show a rotation period of 14.00 ± 0.01 hours with a brightness variation of 0.21 ± 0.03 magnitude.[3]

    It is named in honor of the chief of surgery at the Crimean regional hospital in Bakhchisaraj, Aleksandr Grigorevich Filipenko. Lyudmila Karachkina named it after the surgent, because he saved the life of a person dear to her.[2]
