Abstract
An attempt to build a new theory of the main Uranian satellites is being made at the Sternberg Astronomical Institute. The main difference compared to GUST86 theory is that the new theory is planned to be completely analytical. To do this, the secular frequencies of the satellites should be calculated taking into account the secular perturbations of the second order and, partly, of the third order. This allows to improve the secular frequencies and make them more close to those obtained from numerical integration. Nevertheless, discrepancies remain, which indicate that more terms in the analytical development are needed. Some other advantages of the new theory are also discussed.
