Abstract: 
A overview of the past, present and planned space-based observations of asteroids is given. The main results which have been and will be obtained from the space missions OAO-2, IUE, FIRSSE, IRAS, HIPPARCOS, HST, ISO, MSX, GALILEO, NEAR, DS1, SMART-1, ROZETTA та MUSES-C are presented. The expediency of asteroid investigations with spacecraft is discussed.
Keywords: asteroids, space missions, space vehicles
