About this Engineering article
Attitude Drift Toward Collinearity of a Wayward Planet by F.P.J. Rimrott; F.A. Salustri is a Engineering article available to read on EtoBox.
A model planetary system is studied, where all planets are on circular orbits in one and the same plane, except one planet whose orbital plane is inclined at an angle. By means of the collinearity principle [l] and a Ward spiral [2] it is shown how the wayward planet moves towards the common plane to achieve eventually collinearity of all angular momenta.
It is typically read by researchers, students, and practitioners in Engineering.
