Abstract
The problem of determining the dynamic shapes of planetary satellites becomes important today. The goal of this paper is to analyze the physical properties of satellites which are referred to planetoids. An analysis of planetary satellites as self-gravitating structures is performed, and parameters of their dynamic shapes are determined.
Keywords: moons of the planets; figure; gravitational field; shape; mass
