                         simulations to study the orbital motion of lunar artificial 
                         satellites. We consider the problem of an artificial satellite 
                         perturbed by the non-uniform distribution of mass of the Moon and 
                         by a third-body in elliptical orbit (Earth is considered). 
                         Legendre polynomials are expanded in powers of the eccentricity up 
                         to the degree four and are used for the disturbing potential due 
                         to the third-body. We show a new approximated equation to compute 
                         the critical semi-major axis for the orbit of the satellite. 
                         Lie-Hori perturbation method up to the second-order is applied to 
                         eliminate the terms of short-period of the disturbing potential. 
                         Coupling terms are analyzed. Emphasis is given to the case of 
                         frozen orbits and critical inclination. Numerical simulations for 
                         hypothetical lunar artificial satellites are performed, 
                         considering that the perturbations are acting together or one at a 
                         time.",
