The pattern of rings in the Uranus system is described, and previous hypothesis seeking to explain that pattern are reviewed. It is proposed that the ring pattern is produced by resonances from five undiscovered satellites located beyond the outer boundary of the rings. The satellite orbit radii would be 66,450, 62,470, 58,600, 55,380, and 51,580 km. This hypothesis is supported by the clearly nonrandom placement of the rings, enabling an accurate determination of the presumed satellite orbits.
