Physics

Satellites: Rotation

Scientific paper

A mode of the attitude motion of a satellite is investigated, which is called a biaxial rotation in the plane of its orbit. In this mode, a satellite, which is close to a dynamically symmetric one, rotates around the longitudinal axis that, in its turn, rotates about the normal to the plane of the orbit; the angular velocity of the satellite longitudinal axis is several times greater than the orbital angular velocity and deviations of the longitudinal axis from the plane of the orbit are small. The investigation is carried out assuming that the satellite is a rigid body whose center of mass moves along a stable circular orbit, and that it is affected by a gravitational torque.
