Scientific paper

The development of the tumbling period of Rocket Intercosmos 11 (1974-34-B) during the first two years after launch is analyzed. It is shown that the period increase observed from August 1974 to June 1976 can be interpreted to be due to torque moments caused by eddy currents induced in the hollow cylinder by the magnetic field of the earth. The tumbling acceleration that was observed in June 1974 is interpreted as an outgassing effect of the rest propellant which remained inside the rocket after burn-off. A model of the outgassing acceleration is developed, showing reasonably good agreement of calculated periods with observed ones.
