Scientific paper

The rotational motion of a symmetrical satellite containing a spherical cavity filled with a viscous fluid is investigated. The center of mass of the system is assumed to move along a circular orbit in a central Newtonian force field. The evolution equations are derived by an asymptotic method of separation of motions and averaging in canonical Andoyer variables. The third-approximation equations are used to analyze the stability of steady-state rotations. The problem of the motion of a rigid body with a fluid-filled cavity has been investigated by many authors.
