Resumen

For the zonal problem of the Moon considering up to the J7 harmonic, we found several families of periodic orbits. The strong differences between the Moon and other cases (Earth-like planets) is mainly due to the magnitude of the zonal harmonic J7, that in this case is of the same magnitude that J2.
