Named in honor of Alan B. Chamberlin, a senior engineer within the Navigation and Flight Mechanics Section of NASA’ Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Since joining the staff of JPL in 1996, Alan has shown his expertise in asrtonomical observing and celestial mechanics. His research work has centered on the search for gaseous emissions from suspected defunct comets and the uncertainties associated with the close approaches to the earth of the so-called potentially hazardous objects. For the New Millennium Deep Space One spacecraft that was launched on 1998 Oct. 25, Alan is responsible for the ephemeris development for both the mission targets and the two dozen well-observed minor planets that will be used by this spacecraft to navigate autonomously to its targets.
