The canonical equations of motion of a spacecraft of complex shape under the joint effects of earth oblateness and direct solar radiation pressure are formulated. The shape of the satellite is modeled as an axisymmetric body plus despun antenna emitting or receiving a radio beam which is suitable to describe the main effects for the telecommunication satellites. The attitude of the satellite is assumed stabilized such that the axis of the symmetric part be along the tangent to the orbit. The Hamiltonian is developed in terms of the Delaunay elements augmented so as to remove the time dependence of the Hamiltonian.
