Abstract: We show, using the methods of geometric algebra, that Runge-Lenz vector in the Kepler problem is a 3-dimensional projection of SO(4) moment map that acts on the phase space of 4-dimensional particle motion. Thus, RL vector is a consequence of geometric symmetry of $mathbb{R}^{4}imesmathbb{R}^4$ phase space.
