On the attitude dynamics of slowly spinning axisymmetric satellites under the influence of gravity gradient torques
The dynamics of slowly spinning axisymmetric satellites under the influence of gravity gradient torque is investigated using analytical and numerical techniques. Particular emphasis is on motion near the equilibrium position in which the spin axis is normal to the orbital plane. The problem is studi...
