[PAR] [TLE] 57868 Pupin [SEP] 57868 Pupin, provisional designation 2001 YD, is a dark Erigonian asteroid and slow rotator from the inner regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 3.5 kilometers in diameter.  It was discovered on 17 December 2001, by astronomers of Near-Earth Asteroid Tracking (NEAT) at the Palomar Observatory in California, United States.  The asteroid was name after Serbian–American physicist Mihajlo Pupin. [PAR] [TLE] Mihajlo Pupin [SEP] Mihajlo Idvorski Pupin, Ph.D., LL.D.  (Serbian Cyrillic: Михајло Идворски Пупин, ] ; 4 October 1858 – 12 March 1935), also known as Michael I. Pupin was a Serbian American physicist and physical chemist.  Pupin is best known for his numerous patents, including a means of greatly extending the range of long-distance telephone communication by placing loading coils (of wire) at predetermined intervals along the transmitting wire (known as "pupinization").  Pupin was a founding member of National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) on 3 March 1915, which later became NASA.
