The Orbit Attitude and Maneuvering System (OAMS) was a reaction control system used in Earth orbit by the Project Gemini spacecraft. It provided both automatic and manual rotation and translation by means of 16 vernier thrusters using hypergolic propellants. (Wikipedia).
Teach Astronomy - Orbit Inclination
http://www.teachastronomy.com/ For most planets in the solar system the orbital inclination is very small. That is, the axis defined by the north and south poles of the planet is almost exactly perpendicular to the plane of the planet's orbit of the Sun. The only two exceptions to this a

Teach Astronomy - Orbit Eccentricity
http://www.teachastronomy.com/ Orbital eccentricity is the amount by which an orbit deviates from a circle. Mathematically it's defined as the distance between the two foci of an elliptical orbit divided by the major axis. A circle has an ellipticity, denoted by the little symbol "e", of
