The past triennium was characterized by important advances in several directions within the broad field of this Commission. Among the most exciting events were the Phobos 2 and Voyager 2 missions to Mars/Phobos and Neptune/Triton; their navigation was critically dependent on precise space- and ground-based observations as well as refined theoretical models of the motions in the solar system. Among many other achievements, the secular acceleration of Phobos was accurately measured and the dynamical analysis of the ring-like arcs at Neptune has just begun.
