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
