951 Gaspra is an asteroid orbiting close to the inner edge of the main asteroid belt. Discovered by Grigory Neujmin on 3 January 1886, it was named after Gaspra, a retreat on Crimea. Gaspra was visited by the Gallileo spacecraft in 1991 as it was enroute to Jupiter. Gaspra is an elongated potato shaped body.

Gaspra in Orbiter

951 Gaspra was first introduced to Orbiter with the release of MainBeltAsteroids051403 in 2003.

Note that the landing surface as given in the config file is spherical, but the visual of these bodies are not, if you land, you will likely be above or below the visual surface.
