( 9995 ) Alouette is an asteroid of the inner main belt, which was discovered on 24 September 1960 by the Dutch astronomer Cornelis Johannes van Houten couple and Ingrid van Houten - Groeneveld. The discovery came as part of the Palomar - Leiden Survey, which recorded by Tom Gehrels with the 120 - inch Oschin Schmidt telescope at Palomar Observatory field plates at Leiden University were screened.

The asteroid belongs to Nysa group, one named after (44 ) Nysa group of asteroids (also called Hertha family, according to (135 ) Hertha). After FORMING classification (Small Main -Belt Asteroid Spectroscopic Survey) Alouette was at a spectroscopic investigation of Gianluca Masi, Sergio Foglia and Richard P. Binzel at ( 9995 ) assumed a bright surface, it might be so, roughly speaking, to act an S- asteroids.

The timeless ( nichtoskulierenden ) orbital elements of ( 9995 ) Alouette are almost identical with those of six smaller if one of the absolute brightness of 16.8, 16.3, 17.1, 18.0, 17.8 and 17.3 compared with 14.9 runs out, asteroids: ( 137680 ) 1999 XW45, ( 147761 ) 2005 QJ10, ( 202499 ) 2006 BS135, ( 213587 ) 2002 NV64, ( 329 954 ) in 2005 and QD70 ( 335 687 ) 2006 WD39.

( 9995 ) Alouette was named after the first Canadian satellite on 11 November 2000 Alouette 1, who sent in 1962 to the first research data from the terrestrial ionosphere. The naming of the asteroid was on a proposal by Willem Fröger, a Dutch astronomer who works in Argentina.
