This paper contains an analysis of the attitude stability of a spinning axisymmetric satellite whose mass center moves in any known planar periodic orbit of the restricted three-body problem while the spin axis remains normal to the orbit plane. A procedure based on Floquet theory is developed for constructing instability charts, and examples of these are presented for two stable periodic orbits of the earth-moon system - one directed and one retrograde. Numerical integration of the full nonlinear equations of motion is then performed to provide insight into the physical significance of the stability predictions.
