The effect of a perturbative force, solar pressure, on the motion and stability of two cable-connected satellites in the earth's central gravitational field of force has been studied. The osculating plane of the orbit of the center of mass has been supposed to be inclined at a constant angle with the plane of the ecliptic. The particular solutions of the nonlinear, nonhomogeneous and nonautonomous equations of relative motion in three-dimensional cases have been obtained. The particular solution in which the system lies wholly along the radius vector joining the attracting center and the center of mass of the system under the central attracting force alone was found previously to be stable (Singh, 1973). It has been established in the present case too that the same particular solution remains stable if the parameter of the solar pressure lies within a certain limit.
