| Title |
Stability of planar rotations of a satellite in a circular orbit |

| Abstract |
We study the stability of planar motions of a satellite relative to the
center of mass in a central Newtonian gravitational field. The satellite is
a rigid body whose geometry of mass corresponds to a plate (C=A+B, where
A, B, and C are the principal central moments of inertia). The orbit
of the center of mass is circular. In the unperturbed motion, one of the
principal central axes of inertia of the satellite is perpendicular to the
orbit plane, and the satellite itself rotates around this axis at an
arbitrary angular velocity. The problem on the stability of this rotation
is solved in the nonlinear setting. To this end, we propose a constructive
algorithm for studying the orbital stability of periodic motions of
autonomous Hamiltonian systems. This algorithm is based on a special
construction method and the subsequent analysis of the symplectic mapping
generated by the equations of perturbed motion on the energy level
corresponding to the unperturbed periodic motion. We perform an analytic
study in the case of a nearly dynamically symmetric satellite. Numerical
analysis is used for arbitrary parameter values (the inertial
characteristic and the angular rotation velocity of the satellite). |
