(6002) 1988 RO is a Jupiter Trojan minor planet. A part of the Trojan camp, it lies at the L5 Lagrangian point. It was discovered by Poul Jensen at the Brorfelde Observatory near Holbæk, Denmark, on September 8, 1988.
Photometric observations of this asteroid during 1993 were used to build a light curve showing a rotation period of 12.918 ± 0.022 hours with a brightness variation of 0.18 ± 0.01 magnitude.[1]
