The publication of the solution of the Ideal Resonance Problem (Garfinkelet al., 1971) has opened the way for a complete first-orderglobal theory of the motion of an artificial satellite, valid for all inclinations. Previous attempts at such a theory have been only partially successful. With the potential function restricted to V = - 1/r + J_2 P_2 (sin θ )/r^3 + J_4 P_4 (sin θ )/r^5 , the paper constructs aglobal solution of the first order in √J 2 for the Delaunay variablesG, g, h, l and for the coordinatesr, θ, and ϕ. As a check, it is shown that this solution includes asymptotically theclassical limit with the critical divisor 5 cos2 i-1. The solution is subject to thenormality condition eG^2 /(1 + {45}/4e^2 ) ≥slant Oleft[ {left| {1/5(J_2 + J_4 /J_2 )} right|^{1/4} } right], which bounds the eccentricitye away from zero in deep resonance. A historical section orients this work with respect to the contributions of Hori (1960), Izsak (1962), and Jupp (1968).
