Does anyone know where I might find a model of asteroid 22 Kalliope and its moon Linus? If the models even exist?

Thanks!

Jack Higgins made an addon with lots of binary asteroids, including Kalliope. You can find it at the Motherlode, under 'asteroids'. However, it only uses the standard asteroid meshes; I don't think Kalliope has been imaged in sufficient detail for an accurate model to be made.

Yeah, I found that one last night, finally.

Actually, though, Kalliope has a good radar signature:

No, imho, maybeyou can have a look at the major asteroids pack by Jestr (on CML) and search for meshes that approach the look of Kalliope...Jeam
