9629

The designation **9629** can refer to several distinct entities depending on the context. One of the most notable references is the minor planet in the asteroid belt, officially named **9629 Bressi**. Discovered on October 16, 1993, by astronomer James V. Scotti at the Steward Observatory’s Spacewatch program, this asteroid belongs to the main belt population orbiting between Mars and Jupiter. It was named in honor of Italian-American astronomer and planetary scientist **Paolo Bressi**, who made significant contributions to the study of near-Earth objects and asteroid dynamics.

Another context in which **9629** appears is in the field of telecommunications, specifically as a **channel number** in certain digital broadcasting standards, such as DVB (Digital Video Broadcasting). In this context, it may represent a specific frequency allocation or a reserved identifier for testing or experimental purposes.

Additionally, **9629** can appear in various other domains, such as inventory numbering, serial codes, or internal documentation within organizations. Without further context, these references remain general and may not carry specialized significance.

The minor planet **9629 Bressi** is the most widely recognized entity associated with the designation, particularly among astronomers and space enthusiasts. Its orbit is relatively stable, and it is not classified as a near-Earth object, meaning it does not pose any known threat of collision with Earth. Observations of such asteroids contribute to our understanding of the solar system’s formation and the distribution of materials in the asteroid belt.
