Scientific paper
The stationary motions of a satellite with an arbitrary dynamic structure in a central field are investigated. This problem is shown to admit solutions which correspond to relative equilibrium points of the satellite which differ from (though they are close to) the Lagrangian equilibrium points. Specifically, 'oblique' satellite positions in circular orbit are possible for which the principal central axes of inertia do not coincide with the axes of the orbital coordinate system, though they are close to these axes. The solutions obtained make it possible to explain the observed constant angular displacements of the inertia axes of the moon and to predict analogous effects in the motion of Phobos as well as the constant dynamic displacements of the mass centers of these bodies.
