Description: The several thousand asteroids constitute the second largest population of substantial solid objects in the solar system (there are probably more comets), and have been studied from the Earth for nearly two centuries. Asteroids are important members of the solar system for several reasons, among them: (1) they contain the materials that reflect the processes going on early in the time of planet formation; (2) their impacts have been the major external influences on the surface of some terrestrial planets; and (3) their impacts on Earth have probably had major effects on biologic evolution. This paper examines and describes the asteroid Gaspra, and compares it to small satellites.
