Abstract
Lunar perturbations of the Earth’s artificial satellites with large semi-major axis are investigated. Long-term evolution of the orbits are studied through double averaging of the perturbing function. A first order secular solution is derived from Lagrange’s planetary equations. Types of perturbations are discussed and secular resonances between the perturbed orbits of the satellites and the Moon are shown.
