The state of knowledge of the motions of all Saturn's satellites is presented (excluding however the rings and their relating shepherding satellites). In particular, it appears that the theory of motion of the major satellites is now more precise than the available Earth-based observations, allowing to expect new progress with the next observations from mutual events and then with those from the Cassini mission.
