Scientific paper

The motion of Enceladus and Dione, two of Saturn's satellites whose orbits are in resonance, is studied using the SOS method. The phase curves in phase space are examined, and the consequences of the findings for the stability of celestial mechanical systems is discussed. In particular, it is shown that only the simplest systems can avoid chaos. An integration program for calculating the motion of Enceladus is presented.
