The chaotic instability of the spinning motion of a gyrostat satellite is investigated in this paper. The circularly orbiting satellite under the action of gravity-gradient torques consists of a platform and axisymmetric wheels rotating with fixed relative speeds. The Hamiltonian equations in terms
