We consider the problem of an artificial satellite perturbed by the non-uniform distribution of mass of the Moon and by a third-body in elliptical orbit (Earth is considered). Legendre polynomials are expanded in powers of the eccentricity up to the degree four and are used for the disturbing potential due to the third-body. We show a new approximated equation to compute the critical semi-major axis for the orbit of the satellite. Lie-Hori perturbation method up to the second-order is applied to eliminate the terms of short-period of the disturbing potential. Coupling terms are analyzed. Emphasis is given to the case of frozen orbits and critical inclination. Numerical simulations for hypothetical lunar artificial satellites are performed, considering that the perturbations are acting together or one at a time. %T Some orbital characteristics of lunar artificial satellites %@electronicmailaddress %@electronicmailaddress %@electronicmailaddress abertachini@terra.com.br %@secondarytype PRE PI %K MAIN PROBLEM, 3RD-BODY PERTURBATION, CRITICAL INCLINATION, FROZEN ORBITS, POLAR, MODEL, BODY. %@usergroup administrator %@usergroup banon %@usergroup lattes %@usergroup marciana %@group %@group %@group DMC-ETE-INPE-MCT-BR %@e-mailaddress abertachini@terra.com.br %@secondarykey INPE--PRE/ %@secondarymark B4_ASTRONOMIA_/_FÍSICA A1_ENGENHARIAS_III B1_INTERDISCIPLINAR %F lattes: 7340081273816424 3 CarvalhoVilhPrad:2010:SoOrCh %@issn 0923-2958 %2 dpi.inpe.br/plutao/2010/12.02.13.23.51 %@affiliation Univ Estadual Paulista, BR-12516410 Guaratingueta, SP Brazil %@affiliation Univ Estadual Paulista, BR-12516410 Guaratingueta, SP Brazil %@affiliation Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE) %B Celestial Mechanics and Dynamical Astronomy %P 371-388 %4 dpi.inpe.br/plutao/2010/12.02.13.23.50 %D 2010 %V 108 %@doi 10.1007/s10569-010-9310-6 %A Carvalho, Jean P S, %A Vilhena de Moraes, R., %A Prado, Antonio Fernando Bertachini de Almeida, %@dissemination WEBSCI %@area ETES
