1991 CL3. Discovered 1991 Feb. 14 by E. F. Helin at Palomar.
Named in honor of Christopher C. Clark, an electrooptical engineer at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory who designed and assembled the Near-Earth Asteroid Tracking camera system. This NEAT camera contains a large-format CCD sensor that provides digital image data, allowing for computer-automated data analysis and Near-Earth Object discoveries. He used his expertise in the development, integration and testing of focal plane arrays to make NEAT a success. (M 26932)
