Planetary Satellite Orbits

Planetary Satellite Orbits is a theoretical construct in solar system astrometry that specifies the gravitationally bound trajectories of natural or artificial satellites around planetary bodies, distinguished from other orbital systems by their hierarchical dependence on a planet-centered reference frame and their dynamical constraints imposed by planetary rotation, tidal forces, and perturbations from external celestial bodies.
