Dia (Jupiter LIII S/2000 J 11) is a prograde irregular satellite of Jupiter. Discovered by Scott Sheppard and his team on 5 December 2000 at the Mauna Kea Observatory, it was named after Dia, daughter of Deioneus.

Dia in Orbiter

Dia was introduced to Orbiter by the add-on outerplanets-050125.zip in January 2005.

In the add-on outerplanets-050125.zip a config file for S2000-J11-Station was included, but there are no config or mesh files, it appears that the author intended the body to be included. To build the body, we can copy the config for another body and edit the data within it using data from JPL Horizons as indicated in the infobox (the data required is in the infobox to the right for your convenience). Save the file as Dia.cfg. Then, since Themisto is close in size as Dia, make a copy of Themisto.msh and rename it as Dia.msh. Edit the S2000-S11-Station.cfg file to change the references to Dia. And there you have it, a Dia body complete with station.
