The motion of the asteroid (469219) Kamo`oalewa, which moves in 1:1 mean motion resonance with the Earth, is investigated. Over the course of studying the dynamics of this object, we revealed close approaches to planets of the Solar System and mean motion and secular resonances and estimated the chaoticity of its orbit. A peculiarity of the asteroid motion is its regular transitions from the state of a quasi-satellite to the state of a horseshoe.
