Dactyl is a moon of the asteroid Ida located in the asteroid belt.
No human has ever traveled through the asteroid belt, as it is filled with millions of small rocky bodies that could pose a danger to spacecraft. Spacecraft that have traveled through the asteroid belt, such as NASA's Dawn mission, are designed to navigate safely around the asteroids.
Eros belongs to the Amor asteroid group, which are a class of near-Earth asteroids that have orbits that bring them close to Earth's orbit. Amor asteroids are named after the asteroid 1221 Amor, which was discovered in 1932.
The Lincoln Laboratory Near-Earth Asteroid Research Team at Socorro, New Mexico is credited with discovering the asteroid, Biyo, on May 22, 1998.The asteroid was named after the teacher, Dr. Josette Biyo.
NEAR=Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous
The NEAR spacecraft, short for Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous, was designed to study and explore asteroids. Its primary mission was to orbit and study the near-Earth asteroid 433 Eros to understand its composition, structure, and history. It provided valuable insights into the nature of asteroids and their potential impact on Earth.
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.

The spacecraft that found asteroid951 was the Galileo Spacecraft..I think..
The Galileo spacecraft originally photographed the asteroid 951 Gaspra.
In 2001, the NEAR-Shoemaker space probe became the first unmanned probe to soft-land on an asteroid, although it was primarily designed to do its studies from orbit. Launched in 1996, it orbited the near-Earth asteroid 433 Eros for about a year, and in February 2001 used the last of its propellant to soft-land on the asteroid. Since it was undamaged, it continued to perform surface studies until it was shut down, about two weeks later.

Dactyl is a moon of the asteroid Ida located in the asteroid belt.
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.
