Description: Orbit diagram of the 130 Elektra quadruple asteroid system, viewed directly above the spin axis of the primary (center). The primary's center of mass is indicated by the black cross. Shape model of Elektra by Hanuš et al. (2017). The orbits of the three satellites are colored blue and labeled with their respective provisional designations. The dotted inner circle surrounding the primary represents the distance of synchronous orbit around Elektra. The orbital elements of the two outer satellites, S/2003 (130) 1 and S/2014 (130) 1, use orbital elements from Yang et al. (2016). The innermost satelllite S/2014 (130) 2 uses preliminary orbital elements from the announcement CBET 5066. S/2014 (130) 2 is assumed to be coplanar (zero inclination) with the primary's equator in this graphic.
