carried out by the NEOWISE mission of NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, the Japanese Akari satellite, and the Infrared Astronomical Satellite IRAS, Massinga measures (), () and () kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo of (), () and (), respectively. The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link derives an albedo of 0.2392 and a diameter of 71.47 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 7.9. On 29 February 2012, an asteroid occultation of Massinga gave a best-fit ellipse dimension of (), with a high quality rating of 3. These timed observations are taken when the asteroid passes in front of a distant star.
