Polydeuces (Saturn XXXIV, S/2004 S 5) a prograde moon of Saturn. It orbits as a Trojan occupying roughly the L5, or trailing point 60° behind in the orbit of Dione. Polydeuces was discovered in 2004 by the Cassini imaging team on 21 October 2004. Its name is also an alternate name for Pollux, twin brother of Castor.

Polydeuces in Orbiter[edit]

Polydeuces was introduced to Orbiter with the release of outerplanets-050329_update.zip in 2005.

Note that in the add-on outer_planets-060929-base.zip no textures were included for Polydeuces, so, you get a white ball.
