5786 Talos (1991 RC) is a near-Earth object. It was discovered by Robert H. McNaught on 3 September 1991 from images from Siding Spring Observatory.
The orbit of Talos varies from about 0.187 to 1.9757 AU, which makes Talos cross the orbits of all four of the inner planets.
Talos' mean radius is about 0.445 km.
5786 Talos in Orbiter[edit]
Talos was introduced to Orbiter with the release of Mercury_Crosser.zip in June 2005.
Note that the landing surface as given in the config file is spherical, but the visual of Talos is not, if you land, you will likely be above or below the visual surface. The surface gravity at Talos is pretty much zero, you can't orbit Talos, but, you can maneuver around Talos much like near a vessel in Earth orbit. Upon landing, your vessel will barely stay on the surface if at all.
