Six asteroids - suspected to be (nearly) contact-binaries - were successfully observed with the HST/FGS interferometer. The observations generally provide size and shape parameters and rule out wrong pole solutions. Only (216) Kleopatra shows a double-lobed shape. All other are closer to a single tri-axial ellipsoid, in particular the shape of the S-type asteroid (63) Ausonia is close to the one of a Jacobi ellipsoid. The data for (15) Eunomia suggest departure from ellipsoidal shape and non-uniform albedo.
