| Abstract: | The influence of resonance perturbations due to the gravitational field of an oblate planet on its satellite whose motion is commensurable with rotation of the planet has been investigated. It has been shown that in special case of the critical inclination or circular orbit the Lagrange equations can be integrated for all resonance terms simultaneously. The method is applied to the investigation of the motion of the 12-hour communication and navigation satellites of the  Molniya and Navstar type. The computations has been performed by the use of four models of the geopotential. |
