+The rest of the document is an in depth look at the progress made characterizing the current fake
+satellite dataset. The summary is that using PCA determined that by far the most variance out of the
+current list of properties is captured by the principle moments of inertia.^[ Eigen Values of the
+inertia tensor. ] I'm including this because it is already typed out and may be a good reference,
+but likely isn't worth digging into once a new dataset of scans can be made.
