| Abstract |
We study motions of a rigid body (a satellite) about the center of mass in a central Newtonian gravitational field in a circular orbit. There is a known particular motion of the satellite in which one of its principal central axes of inertia is perpendicular to the orbit plane and the satellite itself exhibits plane pendulum-like oscillations about this axis. Under the assumption that the satellite principal central moments of inertia A, B, and C satisfy the relation B = A + C corresponding to the case of a thin plate, we perform rigorous nonlinear analysis of the orbital stability of this motion.
In the plane of the problem parameters, namely, the oscillation amplitude ε and the inertial parameter, there exist countably many domains of orbital stability of the satellite oscillations in the linear approximation. Nonlinear orbital stability analysis was carried out in thirteen of these domains. Isoenergetic reduction of the system of equations of the perturbed motion is performed at the energy level corresponding to the unperturbed periodic motion. Further, using the algorithm developed in [1], we construct the symplectic mapping generated by the equations of the reduced system, normalize it, and analyze the stability. We consider resonance and nonresonance cases. For small values of the oscillation amplitude, we perform analytic investigations; for arbitrary values of ε, numerical analysis is used.
Earlier, numerical analysis of stability of plane pendulum-like motions of a satellite in a circular orbit was performed in several special cases in [1-4]. |
