Dynamics of the Lunar Spin Axis
نویسنده
چکیده
The evolution of the lunar spin axis is studied. Prior work has assumed that the inclination of the lunar orbit is constant and that the node regresses uniformly. This work takes into account the nonconstant inclination and nonuniform regression of the node as determined from averaged models of the motion of the lunar orbit. The resulting dynamics is considerably more rich, exhibiting additional resonances, period doubling and tripling, and chaos. Subject headings: planets and satellites: individual(Moon, Earth), formation, dynamics—celestial mechanics—gravitation—methods: analytical, numerical

History of the Lunar Polar Cryosphere
Introduction: Since the discovery of ice in cold, permanently shadowed polar craters on Mercury[1], debate has reopened over the presence of ice in similar environments on the Moon. Though the Moon has similar shadowed craters currently, this has not always been the case. Here we examine a 4.5 billion year history of insolation in the lunar polar environment and the resulting surface and subsur...
متن کاملEffects of Flight Dynamics on Performance of One Axis Gimbal System, Considering Disturbance Torques
The gimbal stabilization mechanism system is used to provide the stability to an object mounted on the gimbal by isolating it from the base angular motion and vibration. In this paper the model of one axis gimbal system with dynamics flying object is introduced. The gimbal torque relationships are obtained using Newton’s second law equation on the assumption that gimbal is rigid body. The syste...
متن کاملReview and Analysis of Single-thruster Attitude Control Techniques for Spinning Spacecraft
The attitude dynamics and manoeuvre survey in this paper is performed for a mission scenario involving a penetrator-type spacecraft, a semi-rigid axisymmetric prolate spacecraft spinning around its minor axis of inertia, requested to perform a 90° spin axis reorientation manoeuvre. In contrast to most existing spacecraft only one attitude control torque is available, perpendicular to the spin a...
متن کاملI-42: MRI Evaluation of Congenital Uterine Anomalies
Mullerian duct anomalies are an uncommon but often treatable cause of infertility. Patients with müllerian duct anomalies are known to have a higher incidence of infertility, repeated first-trimester spontaneous abortions, fetal intrauterine growth retardation, fetal malposition, preterm labor, and retained placenta. The role of imaging is to help detect, diagnose, and distinguish surgically co...
متن کاملThermal negativity in a two qubit XXX and XX spin chain model in an external magnetic field
In this paper we studied the thermal negativity in a two-qubit XX spin ½ chain model and XXX spin1/2 chain model(isotropic Heisenberg model)spin-1/2 chain subjected to an external magnetic field inz direction. We calculate analytical relation for the thermal negativity for two qubit XX and XXX spinchain models in the external magnetic field. Effects of the magnetic field and temperature on then...
