The satellites of Uranus all have significant non-zero eccentricities and in the case of Miranda a significant inclination as well. The Voyager 2 encounter with Uranus in January 1986, provided more accurate estimates of the masses and sizes of the satellites. Orbital history and possible tidal heating were reexamined by using the Voyager data. The relevant orbital dynamics equations are described.
