Jacob I. Trombka (1931-2016) was a NASA scientist specializing in gamma-ray spectroscopy who served as principal investigator on the Apollo gamma-ray experiment. He is mentioned in the archive in the Apollo 17 science debriefing of January 1973, where co-investigator Dick Henry cited Trombka's earlier presentation on cosmic gamma-ray background as context for the anomalous ultraviolet spectrum Henry was reporting.
