Scientific paper

The present study demonstrates the existence of a family of periodic solutions in the problem of the motion of a point mass in the gravitational field of a uniformly rotating planet having a triaxial ellipsoid of inertia that is close to a sphere. The point mass (i.e., a satellite) is assumed to be passively gravitating, and the planet is assumed to rotate with constant angular velocity relative to the shortest axis of its ellipsoid of inertia.
