List of unnumbered minor planets: 2002 R (0–262)

This is a partial list of unnumbered minor planets for principal provisional designations assigned during 1–15 September 2002. Since this period yielded a high number of provisional discoveries, it is further split into several standalone pages. As of November 2025^[update]}, a total of 124 bodies remain unnumbered for this period.^[1]^[2]^[3] Objects for this year are listed on the following pages: A–B · C · D–F · G–K · L–O · P · Q_i · Q_ii · R_i · R_ii · S · T_i · T_ii · U–V and W–Y. Also see previous and next year.
