Asteroid 21547, Kottapalli, was discovered on August 17, 1998 by the Lincoln Laboratory Near-Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR) Team at Socorro, New Mexico. It has a period of 5 years, 232 days and is slightly over 7 miles in diameter.
It was named for San Jose high school student Anjaney Pramod Kottapalli (born 1989), who got second place in the 2006 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair for his engineering project, "An Experimental Analysis of the Thrust Produced by an Ornithopter at Low Reynolds Numbers."

The meaning of asteroid Kottapalli seems to be besieged; also, possibly, ornithopters (aircraft that fly by flapping their wings) and centrifugal compressors (such as are used in jet engines and gas wells).
