  • Attitude stability of a symmetrical satellite with translational - rotational coupling

    Creator:
    Yu, Jin-Chyuan
    Abstract:
    The equations which govern the motion of a rigid satellite in an inverse-square force field exhibit a weak coupling between the translation of, and the rotation about the center of mass. The effects of this translational-rotational coupling on the equilibrium positions in a circular orbit, and their stabilities are examined....
