Abstract
There is a well-known example of an integrable conservative system on S2, the case of Kovalevskaya in the dynamics of a rigid body, possessing an integral of fourth degree in momenta. In this paper we propose new families of examples of conservative systems on S2 possessing an integral of fourth degree in momenta.
