Attitude motion of a satellite subjected to gravitational and aerodynamic torques in a circular orbit is investigated. In special case, when the center of pressure of aerodynamic forces is located on one of the principal central axes of inertia of the satellite, all equilibrium orientations are determined. Necessary and (or) sufficient conditions of stability are obtained for each equilibrium orientation. Evolution of domains where stability conditions take place is investigated. All bifurcation values of parameters corresponding to qualitative change of domains of stability are determined.
