Asteroid Pack 1.00 is an Orbiter add-on download by Nighthawke released on 21 November 2004, now available from the Orbiter-Forum Download section, adding 16 small bodies orbiting as Near-Earth objects or Main Belt Asteroids. As released in 2004, it is likely targeted for Orbiter 2003, but it also works in Orbiter 2016. As it contains basic config, mesh, texture, and doc files, it will likely work in all versions, at least up to 2016.
Bodies included in Asteroid Pack include:
- 1 Ceres
- 2 Pallas
- 3 Juno
- 4 Vesta
- 1620 Geographos
- 1998 KY26
- 2063 Bacchus
- 216 Kleopatra
- 243 Ida and its moon Dactyl
- 253 Mathilde (which was a NEAR mission target)
- 4179 Toutatis (modeled for close-Earth encounter of September 2004)
- 433 Eros (NEAR mission target and landing site)
- 4769 Castalia
- 6489 Golevka
- 951 Gaspra
