Quaoar also 50000 Quaoar is a dwarf planet located in the Kuiper Belt beyond the orbit of Neptunemaking it a Trans-Neptunian object. It is about one-half the size of Pluto and includes ring and a small moon (Weywot). Quaoar was discovered by Chad Trujillo and Michael Brown at the Palomar Observatory on 4 June 2002.

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 on the Delta-glider seems to be inoperative on the surface of Quaoar.
