Quaoar in Orbiter[edit]

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's landing light seems to not work on the surface of Quaoar.
