(7295) Brozovic Main-belt Asteroid
Discovered on 22 June 1992 by Ueda, S., Kaneda, H. at Kushiro.
Marina Brozović (b. 1971), a senior scientist at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, uses the Goldstone and Arecibo radars to observe near-Earth objects and then derives radar shape models and rotation states for these objects. She is also active in refining the orbits for some of the solar system's natural satellites.Naming citation (WGSBN Bull. 6, #9, 5), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
