Scientific paper

In this paper we study the rotational motion of a rigid satellite moving in the gravitational field of an oblate planet. The librations of the moon around the equilibrium state of synchronous stable rotation are analyzed by the application of the normal forms theory. We construct a general, semi-analytical theory of librations and we show its application to a few small moons of Saturn and Jupiter.
