Scientific paper

Several examples of satellite dynamics are presented where significant progress has been made in understanding a complex problem, where a long-standing problem has finally been solved, where newly discovered configurations have motivated novel descriptions or where an entirely new phenomenon has been revealed. The origin of orbital resonances in satellites and the solution of the problem of the origin and evolution of the three body Laplace resonance among the Galilean satellites are among the topics discussed.
