The kinematic evolution of two tethered point masses moving in an unperturbed Keplerian orbit is analyzed. It is shown that, in the first approximation, the motion of the kinetic-moment vector with respect to the motion of the system does not depend on oscillations along the tether. It is also demonstrated that the effect of the dissipative component of aerodynamic forces in circular orbit differs qualitatively from the effect described previously for a symmetrical rigid body.
