Scientific paper

The paper by Reid (1973) suggests that masses may be stored in circumlunar orbits for long periods of time, limited only by tidal dissipation. The real loss may, however, be much faster, due to large changes in the orbit caused by the disturbing field of the earth. It is shown that the example quoted of Jupiter's satellites is inadequate to make the case for stability of such orbits.
