Abstract
Short-tenn analytical theory is developed for the motion of a satellite of an oblate planet whose gravitalional potenlial includes the fifth and sixth zonal barmonics. Due to symmetry in KS elements equations, only two of the nine equations are integrated analytically. The series expansions include terms to third power in the eccentricity.
