(410777) 2009 FD is a carbonaceous sub-kilometer asteroid and binary system,[6][3] classified as near-Earth object and potentially hazardous asteroid of the Apollo group, discovered on 24 February 2009 by astronomers of the Spacewatch program at Kitt Peak National Observatory near Tucson, Arizona, in the United States.[2]

Until 2019, the asteroid's modelled orbit placed it at risk of a possible future collision with Earth in 2185. With a Palermo Technical Impact Hazard Scale rating of -0.44, it had the fifth highest impact threat[b] of all known asteroids based on its estimated diameter, kinetic yield, impact probability, and time interval.[12] Observations to 2019 extended the observation arc by four years and detected a favourable Yarkovsky effect, which ruled out impact in 2185.[13] Using observations from 16 November 2020, the asteroid was removed from the Sentry risk table on 19 November 2020.
