This chapter studies the orbit dynamics of low-altitude, near-circular orbits above an oblate planetary satellite. The mathematical model used in the analysis includes the tidal perturbation from the planet and the effect of the planetary satellite’s oblateness and, as such, corresponds to the investigation of a particular “region” of initial condition space of the classical Hill problem with the modification of an oblate central body. The analysis described in the following is largely taken from [167].
