    9932 Kopylov is a main belt asteroid. It orbits the Sun once every 4.08 years.[1]

    Discovered on August 23, 1985 by Nikolai Chernykh working at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory, it was given the provisional designation "1985 QP5". It was later renamed "Kopylov" after Ivan Mikheevich Kopylov, the director of the Special Astrophysical Observatory from 1966 until 1985.[3]
