Scientific paper

Orbital elements are presented for the six small satellites of Neptune, 1989N1 through 1989N6, discovered by Voyager 2. Details of the image and orbit analyses are examined. The solution for the orbits of the six satellites is presented in terms of geometric classical Keplerian elements. All six are in nearly circular direct orbits; most of the satellites have low inclinations, except the innermost, 1989N6, which is inclined at 4.7 deg to Neptune's equator.
