Space Time
Dinkinesh’s moon is itself a contact binary: two small lobes orbiting together.
Also known as Dinkinesh I, 152830 Dinkinesh I Selam.
One record per aspect. The origin says what kind of thing each value is; the source says where it came from; the limit says what it cannot tell you.
Selam is placed by solving a Keplerian orbit around dinkinesh at the simulation time (a = 3.1 km, e = 0, i = 0°, period 2.2 d).
Selam is presented using measured lobe sizes and orbit scale; approximate shape, orbit plane and phase data.
Selam: mean radius 0.2 km. These values are bundled with the object record and drive the rendered size.
Two touching lobes, approximately 212 and 234 metres across. Orbit separation and period are measured; plane, phase, neck and unseen surfaces are approximate.
Measured bulk dimensions constrain the navigable bodies. Their ridge, neck, spin pole and unseen terrain remain approximate; these are not mission terrain meshes.
The short description and the fact list are written by the Space Time authors for orientation. They are not quoted from a catalog field and carry no citation of their own.
