As is well known, the orbital and rotational motions of a solid are coupled, and the integrals of energy and angular momentum (in a gravitational field with spherical symmetry) impose restrictions on them. We study the regions allowed to the motion in configurational space. It turns out that even in the crudest model (planar motion of a triple rod) the restrictions on the libration angle and the orbital radius of the center of mass are coupled, so that excessive ellipticity of the orbit excludes stabilization in the neighbourhood of the spoke equilibrium position by gravitational forces only.
