Aaron Rosengren: lunar mean-motion res's, lots of weird chaotic dynamics that high-altitude satellites have to deal with. At some point perturbations from the Moon become more important than oblateness of Earth (...so many equations! haha my talk was aimed at beginning astro students oops)

I LOVE THIS PLOT (high altitude satellites vs a bunch of resonant effects)

Where are the Kirkwood gaps of cislunar space? Some satellites have shown very chaotic resonant behaviour - even Kozai!!
