Scientific paper

The results of Chernous'ko are extended numerically in order to investigate the character of locked-in rotational motion for orbits of arbitrary eccentricity. It is found that for certain ranges of eccentricity, the rotational lock for the higher spin rates in stronger than that of a 1/1 rotational lock in a circular orbit. Furthermore the limiting values of the instantaneous spin rate of the satellite are established for any given rotational lock.
