This model was plotted using MATLAB R2016a on the ICQ model of the PSI made by Robert Gaskell from the data of the Hayabusa mission.
The file's names explained: name_1_x_10_y.stl is 1 : x* 10^y. So _1_6_10_7 is 1:600000000 or one in 60 million.
25143 Itokawa
This subkilometer Near Earth Asteroid is the smallest natural object visited by a spacecraft. The Hayabusa probe caught more than 1500 particles of regolith from the asteroid. It is a contact binary between two bodies, the smallest seems to be denser, probably monolithic; while the bigger one is porous, probably a rubble pile. This configuration is similar to the bigger Trans Neptunian Object Arrokoth, beside its different composition.
