Abstract
The effect of resonant planetary perturbations on the evolution of the orbit of a satellite driven by tidal forces is studied in this paper. The basic equations that govern it are similar to the equations found in orbit-orbit and in spin-orbit couplings. The generĀal form of these equations is:
\end{array}\] A general Treatment of such equations, proposed earlier (J. Kovalevsky, in Dynamical Trapping and Evolution of the Solar system, IAU colloquium n 74, V.V. Markellos and Y. Kozai, eds., 1983) is sketched.
