Resumen

Analytical theories based on Lie-Deprit transforms are used to obtain families of periodic orbits for the problem of an orbiter around the Moon. Low and high orbit models are analyzed. Equilibria of the normalized equations of motion provides the representation of a global portrait of families of frozen orbits depending on values of the inclination, eccentricity and semimajor axis. By means of the inverse transformation it is possible to refine the initial conditions for frozen orbits of a simplified model; these initial conditions may be used as starter of numerical continuation methods when more complex models are considered.
