We study the existence and stability of periodic solutions of a differential equation that models the planar oscillations of a satellite in an elliptic orbit around its center of mass. The proof is based on a suitable version of Poincaré-Birkhoff theorem and the third order approximation method.

Keywords: Satellite equation, twist periodic solutions, unstable periodic solutions, Poincaré-Birkhoff theorem, third order approximation.

Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary:34C25.
