'''3753 Cruinthe''', known in [[Orbiter]] simply as Cruinthe is an asteroid, belonging to the [[w:Aten asteroid]] group, in an elliptical solar orbit with almost a 1:1 resonance with the Earth, and was discovered on 10 October 1986 by [[w:Duncan Waldron]]. It's orbit takes Cruinthe from the orbit of [[Mercury]] to beyond that of [[Mars]]. In Orbiter, Cruinthe was added as an [[Add-on]] by [[List of add-ons by Burnrate|Burnrate]] in 2009.

== Physical Characteristics in Orbiter ==
Cruinthe has a diameter of about 3300 meters, and a mass of 4.05×10<sup>13</sup> kg. The surface gravity is only about .00099 m/s<sup>2</sup> and escape velocity is about 1.8 m/s, so, one may be able to jump beyond escape velocity. When landing a spacecraft, it may touch down slightly above or below the surface.

== Orbital Characteristics in Orbiter ==
Cruinthe revolves around the [[Sun]] at a distance of just under 1 AU, almost the same distance as the Earth, with an eccentricity of a bit over 0.5, resulting in an orbit that ranges from just outside that of Mercury out past that of Mars. 

Orbiting the Sun in slightly under a year, the actual Cruinthe is in lockstep with Earth, approaching within about 12 million km, then drifting to the opposite side of the Sun from the Earth, to about the same distance on the other side of the Earth. It's unknown whether this phenomena is modeled in Orbiter.

Cruinthe rotates upon its axis in 98784 seconds, or 27<sup>h</sup> 26<sup>m</sup> 34<sup>s</sup>.

The landing light of the DeltaGlider doesn't seem to work on Cruinthe.

-== Note about the name ==
-The add-on file is ''Cruinthe.zip'', spelled incorrectly. this should be corrected thusly:
-*Rename the file ''Cruinthe.cfg'' as ''3753 Cruithne.cfg''
-*Open the file ''Cruithne.cfg'', change the Name =  to ''3753 Cruithne'' and in the first line, change the spelling.
-*Rename the file ''Read Me (Cruinthe).txt'' in the Doc directory to ''Read Me (3753 Cruithne).txt''
-*Open that file and change both references in there.
-*Rename the files ''Cruinthe.tex'' and ''CruintheM.bmp'' as ''3753 Cruithne.tex'' and ''3753 Cruithne''

-== Notice to pilots ==
+Cruinthe rotates upon its axis in 98784 seconds, or 27<sup>h</sup> 26<sup>m</sup> 34<sup>s</sup>.
-Due to its size and mass, and the distance from the Sun, at the surface of Cruithne, the Sun's gravity is stronger than that of Cruithne, OrbitMFD shows Cruithne gravity at 0.15 and the Sun's at 0.85, so you may touchdown and stay on the surface, albeit barely, but as often you will begin to drift off the surface. Perhaps the best landing is on the night side as Cruithne and the Sun are pulling in the same direction.
-The local lighting is interesting on Cruithne, the docking and landing light on the DeltaGlider will light up another ship parked nearby, but the terrain does not reflect local lights. Cruithne is opaque to the star field, the Sun and other bodies, but, if another ship is parked over the horizon, it is visible to your ship right through the terrain.
+The landing light of the DeltaGlider doesn't seem to work on Cruinthe.
