6376 Schamp, provisional designation 1987 KD1, is a stony background asteroid from the central regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 8 kilometers (5 miles) in diameter. It was discovered on 29 May 1987, by American astronomer couple Carolyn and Eugene Shoemaker at the Palomar Observatory in California.[1] The S-type asteroid has a rotation period of 6.6 hours.[6] It was named after Larry and Becky Schamp who took care of the Shoemaker family after Eugene's fatal car accident in Australia.[1]
