Bacchus is a stony asteroid and a contact binary, about 1.11 km × 0.53 km × 1.1 km, mean radius is about 0.63 km.
2063 Bacchus in Orbiter[edit]
Bacchus was introduced to Orbiter with the release of AsteroidPack_v1.00.zip in November 2004.
Note that the landing surface as given in the config file is spherical, but the visual of Bacchus is not, if you land, you will likely be above or below the visual surface.
