'''Quaoar''' also '''50000 Quaoar''' is a dwarf planet located in the [[w:Kuiper Belt|Kuiper Belt]] beyond the orbit of [[Neptune]]. It is about one-half the size of [[Pluto]] and includes ring and a small moon (Weywot). Quaoar was discovered by [[w:Chad Trujillo|Chad Trujillo]] and [[w:Michael E. Brown|Michael Brown]] at the [[w:Palomar Observatory|Palomar Observatory]] on 4 June 2002.
 
 
 
== Quaoar in Orbiter ==
 
Quaoar was introduced to Orbiter on 3 December 2002 with the release of quaoar.zip at AVSIM.net by McDope. It appears to be modeled as a gray sphere. Gravity at the surface is essentially zero, so landed the ship will tend to drift up. The [[Delta-glider|Delta-glider's]] landing light seems to not work on the surface of Quaoar.
