152830 Dinkinesh
152830 Dinkinesh is a main belt asteroid available as the add-on lucy 230315.zip by BrianJ released in 2023.

Dinkinesh in Orbiter
Dinkinesh appears as an out-of-round object with rubble at the surface. Garvity is 0.0035 m/s2 near the surface. The body exerts about 14% of the total gravity at the surface and the Sun exerts the other 86%.
As the shape is not round and the hard radius is round, landing on the surface will be above or below the visual. The Delta-glider's headlight works on the surface of Dinkinesh.
