Probing small main-belt asteroids provides insight into their formation andevolution through multiple dynamical and collisional processes. These asteroidsalso overlap in size with the potentially hazardous near-earth objectpopulation and supply the majority of these objects. The Lucy mission willprovide an opportunity for study of a small main-belt asteroid, (152830)Dinkinesh. The spacecraft will perform a flyby of this object on November 1,2023, in preparation for its mission to the Jupiter Trojan asteroids. Weemployed aperture photometry on stacked frames of Dinkinesh obtained by theWide-field-Infrared Survey Explorer and performed thermal modeling on adetection at 12 $\mu$m to compute diameter and albedo values. Through thismethod, we determined Dinkinesh has an effective spherical diameter of$0.76^{+0.11}_{-0.21}$ km and a visual geometric albedo of$0.27^{+0.25}_{-0.06}$ at the 16th and 84th percentiles. This albedo isconsistent with typical stony (S-type) asteroids.
