I don't know of any comets or asteroids which have had satellite spacecraft orbit them. Frankly, considering the masses of those, it would be quite a fete.

Comets have been impacted by spacecraft, and the "tail" of Halley was sampled. At least asteroid have been photographed "up close", and so was Neptune, by Voyager 2. The answer to your question is Pluto.
