Scientific paper

An analysis is made of the rotation of a quasi-dynamically-symmetric satellite in an elliptical-orbit plane under the effect of gravity and dissipation moments. In p:2q type resonant rotation, the satellite performs p revolutions in inertial space for 2q orbital revolutions. The method of point mappings is used to study the structure of resonance zones of higher orders q = 2,3; this structure is found to be analogous to the structure of resonance zones of first order q = 1. One of the higher-order resonance effects is the gravity-gradient stabilization of the satellite in the inertial space during rotation in the orbit plane.
