โœฆ Synopsis

The in-orbit-plane angular motion of a spherical satellite with a maSs eccentricity is studied, and both aerodynamic and gravitational torques along with large angle motions are considered. The equilibrium attitudes of the motion are investigated and the conditions for stability presented. The stability concepts on which the study is based are delineated in an Appendix.

Attitude control of the Molniya I communication satellite which moves in a high eceentfic, periodically corrected orbit, and is continuously facing the Sun with its solar panels and the Earth with its antenna, is a difficult problem. It is shown that this problem may be solved by means of the multi-
