Asteroid 51826, Kalpanachawla, was discovered on July 19, 2001 at Palomar Mountain Observatory by the JPL Near-Earth Asteroid Tracking (NEAT) Program. It has a period of 5 years, 146 days.
It was named for Indian-born American astronaut Kalpana Chawla (1961-2003), a mission specialist on the space shuttle Columbia's ill-fated final flight (STS-107) who died along with her crewmates when the shuttle disintegrated over Texas during re-entry on February 1, 2003.
