Abstract

This review considers theoretical work leading to the actual knowledge of the motions of all planetary satellites, except the Moon. It covers recent calculations of inequalities of satellites' motions and the determination of their orbits on the basis of existing observational data. The results are presented and some of them discussed in views of possible future developments.
