The Perturbing Effects on the Planetary Satellite
Abstract
The problem triaxial satellite having a plane of dynamical symmetry in the restricted problem of three bodies has been studied. The first integrals are established and the general solution of the problem can be written in quadratures. The results show that the semi-major axis of the satellite orbit and its rotational angular momentum remain unchanged. The singular solution of this problem has been considered and the elements of satellite orbit can be determined.
