The attitude stabilization problem of a rigid spacecraft using control torques supplied by gas jet actuators about only two of its principal axes is considered. If the uncontrolled principal axis of the spacecraft is not an axis of symmetry, then the complete spacecraft dynamics are small time local
This paper deals with chaotic attitude motion of a magnetic rigid spacecraft in a circular orbit near the equatorial plane of the earth. The dynamical model of the problem is derived. The Melnikov analysis is carried out to prove the existence of a complicated nonwandering Cantor set. The dynamical
