(6357) Glushko is an asteroid of the main belt that was discovered on September 24, 1976 by Russian astronomer Nikolai Stepanowitsch Tschernych at the Crimean Observatory ( IAU code 095) in Nautschnyj 32 kilometers south of Simferopol .
The asteroid belongs to the Eos family , a group of asteroids which typically have large semiaxes from 2.95 to 3.1 AU , bounded inward by the Kirkwood gap of the 7: 3 resonance with Jupiter , and orbital inclinations between 8 ° and 12 °. The group is named after the asteroid (221) Eos . The family is believed to have emerged from a collision more than a billion years ago.
(6357) Glushko was named after the Soviet engineer Valentin Petrovich Gluschko (1908-1989), who is known as the chief designer of rocket motors and who in 1974 took over the OKB-1 founded in 1946 by Sergei Pavlovich Koroljow .
