− | '''3753 | + | '''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 == | == 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 .001 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. | |

− | + | 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. | |

It's unknown whether this phenomena is modeled in Orbiter. |

Perhaps the best landing is on the night side as Cruinthe and the Sun are pulling in the same direction. |
