In the present chapter, we shall examine the motion of a satellite around another celestial body, but more concisely than we have done for the Earth and Mars. The chapter is divided into two parts, each following practically the same plan. There is a clear separation between Part A, which concerns the satellites of planets, and Part B, which deals with satellites of natural satellites. In the second part, to avoid confusion, a natural satellite or moon of a planet will be referred to by the term “natural satellite,” and the term “satellite” will be reserved for an artificial or technological satellite.
