1011 Laodamia is a stony Mars-crosser asteroid. It was discovered by German astronomer Karl Reinmuth at Heidelberg Observatory on January 5, 1924. Its provisional designation was 1924 PK. With an absolute magnitude of 12.7,[1] the asteroid is roughly 12 kilometers in diameter.[3] On September 5, 2083, the asteroid will pass 0.06186 AU (9,254,000 km; 5,750,000 mi) from Mars.[1]
It was named Laodamia, a figure in the Greek mythology. However, since there are several different characters with this name, it is unclear which one is actually referred to.[2]
