Abstract China’s ongoing Tianwen-2 mission will return samples from a small, rapidly spinning Earth quasi-satellite (469219) Kamoʻoalewa. Previous studies linked Kamoʻoalewa to lunar composition and origin. Here, we propose another scenario. We reanalyze the reflectance spectrum of Kamoʻoalewa and obtain an absorption band center at 1.001 ± 0.028 μm (error is 1σ), consistent with LL chondrites.
