Gaia observations are expected to produce a real revolution in asteroid science. Apart from major improvements in the determination of orbital elements, Gaia data will make it possible to derive for large numbers of objects a determination of the most important physical properties, including mass, size, average density, rotational period, spin axis direction, overall shape, and geometric albedo. Here, we focus mainly on the determination of sizes, rotational properties and shapes, and show some of the main problems that are encountered in the data analysis procedures.
