For accurate long-term ephemerides, please instead use our Horizons system.This orbit viewer was implemented using two-body methods, and hence should not be used for determining accurate long-term trajectories (over several years or decades) or planetary encounter circumstances.

| 7277 Klass | Discovered 1983 Sept. 4 by E. Bowell at the Anderson Mesa Station of Lowell Observatory. |
| Named in honor of Philip J. Klass (b. 1919), for more than 30 years the senior avionics editor of Aviation Week and Space Technology magazine. Klass is best known to the public for his work in skeptically evaluating sensationalist claims about UFOs, making numerous TV appearances and writing five books on the subject. He has also written extensively on surveillance satellites. Name and citation provided by R. Sheaffer. |
