About Gaspra
Discovered in 1916 by Grigory Neujmin. IAU designation: 951 Gaspra. Estimated diameter: 12.2 km. Absolute magnitude H: 11.48.
Visitado pela sonda Galileo em 1991, primeiro asteroide fotografado de perto.
Limitation
Osculating elements are from epoch 2461000.5 JD. Keplerian propagation ignores perturbations (especially Jupiter for belt asteroids). For precision beyond months, consult JPL Horizons.
