An infinitesimal contact transformation is proposed to simplify at first order the Hamiltonian representing the attitude of a triaxial rigid body on a Keplerian orbit around a mass point. The simplified problem reduces to the Euler-Poinsot model, but with moments of inertia depending on time through the longitude in orbit. Should the orbit be circular, the moments of inertia would be constant.
