The present demonstration of a method for obtaining vector-dyadic expressions of the gravitational moment about a body's center-of-mass proceeds through the derivation of an expression for the gravitational moment exerted by an oblate spheroid. The contribution of the earth's oblateness to the gravitational moment exerted on a body has been numerically evaluated for a greatly simplified illustrative case; this contribution is noted to be significant by comparison with such other external moments as those exerted by aerodynamic forces.
