The Pole Orientation, Pole Precession, and Moment of Inertia Factor of SaturnThis paper discusses our determination of the Saturn's pole orientation and precession using a combination of Earthbased and spacecraft based observational data. From our model of the polar motion and the observed precession rate we obtain a value for Saturn's polar moment of inertia
