4142 Dersu-Uzala, provisional designation 1981 KE, is a Hungaria asteroid, sizable Mars-crosser and potentially slow rotator from the innermost region of the asteroid belt, approximately 6 kilometers (3.7 miles) in diameter. It was discovered by Czech astronomer Zdeňka Vávrová at Kleť Observatory on 28 May 1981.[1] The rare A-type asteroid has a rotation period of 140 hours.[4] It was named after the Siberian trapper and hunter Dersu Uzala.[1]
