The Galileo spacecraft flew by the asteroid 951 Gaspra on 29 Oct. 1991, took TV pictures of the asteroid, and made other observations. This paper describes one of the images that was delivered to the earth; the imaged part of the asteroid is 12 x 16 km across. The shape of the asteroid is rounded-angular, which is typical for bodies of fragmentation smoothed by impacts of small meteroids.
