Attention is given to the planar problem in which the satellites move along close orbits in a plane which forms an angle, theta, with the equatorial plane of the planet, the oblateness of which exercises a great effect. Differential equations of motion are presented and particular solutions are shown to exist when the centers of masses are at the vertices of a nearly equilateral triangle or are collinear. If the first two terms of the Legendre series, with theta = 0, are taken, the same results as Aksenov (1980) are obtained.
