Antiope in Orbiter
90 Antiope was first introduced with the release of MainBeltAsteroids.zip in May 2003. Since Orbiter is not written for two bodies revolving about a gravity center, S/2000 (90) 1 is configured to revolve as a standard satellite about Antiope in this release. Note that the landing surface as given in the config file is spherical, but the visual of these bodies are not, if you land, you will likely be above or below the visual surface.
