Abstract
The study of lunar rotation has attracted considerable interest with the advent of the epoch of exploration of the Solar system by space technology. A series of works on an investigation of the lunar gravitational field carried out with the help of artificial lunar satellites have greatly advanced our possibility for that study. The problem concerning the landing on the lunar surface of spacecraft, and the creation of durable lunar bases, impose heavy demands on the accuracy of theoretical description of orbital and rotational motion of the Moon.
