Scientific paper

An evaluation is made of the possibility of changing the spin
orientation of satellites by the oblique impact of projectiles whose
momentum is sufficiently great. Attention is given to the cases of
spin-orbit-locked satellites, which would be changed by this impact from
the Cassini state without catastrophic disruption.
