| Abstract: | The osculating orbit of a planetary satellite moving in the equatorial plane of the central body under the influence of a rotational symmetric perturbation force is elliptical in first order approximation even if the true orbit is always circular. The satellite motion is influenced by a resonance effect due to this perturbing force. An inclined true satellite orbit cannot be circular. |
