The spacecraft that found asteroid951 was the Galileo Spacecraft..I think..
The Galileo spacecraft originally photographed the asteroid 951 Gaspra.
because they are big chunks of rock hitting your spacecraft
Moon, asteroid, spacecraft, rocket...
Dactyl is a moon of the asteroid Ida located in the asteroid belt.
The NEAR spacecraft focused on the asteroid Eros, a near-Earth asteroid. Launched in 1996, NEAR (Near-Earth Asteroid Rendezvous) successfully entered orbit around Eros in 2000 and conducted detailed studies of its surface and composition. In February 2001, NEAR made a controlled landing on Eros, marking the first successful landing on an asteroid.
Despite antenna problems, Galileo conducted the first asteroid flyby, discovered the first asteroid moon, was the first spacecraft to orbit Jupiter, and launched the first probe into Jupiter's atmosphere.

Hyabusa is the name of a Japanese spacecraft that performed a sample-return mission to an asteroid called Itokawa in 2005. The spacecraft collected samples from the asteroid's surface and returned them to Earth for analysis.
The Clementine spacecraft did missions to test sensors and spacecraft components under extended exposure to the space environment. It also made scientific observations of the moon and the asteroid that is near Earth.
It's a question of sufficient gravity. A man might walk right off the asteroid if he tried to walk at all.
