2008 EA9 is a very small near-Earth object about 17 meters in diameter, first detected by NASAs Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS), and is in an Earth-crossing orbit.

The Orbiter version was created by joffrey in 2012. It is modeled as a dockable vessel rather than a celestial body and has six invisible docks including COM/NAC frequencies to facilitate docking by vessels. It does not rotate, keeping the same sidereal orientation over time. As a vessel, 2008 EA9 has no gravity and is not detectable by SurfaceMFD. But, although it is built as a vessel, it cannot be selected in the 'Ship' menu and you cannot
