Using the method of averaging, the condition is derived of the regime of plane autorotation for an axisymmetric spacecraft at its initial stage of reentry into the atmosphere, where one can assume the velocity head to be an exponential function of time. The results obtained by this method are compared with the results of numerical calculations. Special attention is given to the regimes of long spacecraft hovering in the vicinity of an unstable equilibrium position. Analytical estimates are made for these regimes.
