Abstract
The work presents simulation of dynamics of a spacecraft~(SC) with variable mass. A generalized method for analyzing the phase trajectory curvature is used, being refined for the case in which the moments of forces applied to the SC depend on the angular velocity. Special cases are considered along with analyzing a spacecraft with dynamic asymmetry. Using the method, the presence of complex evolutions of angular motion is shown, in which the jet stream of the engine creates Coriolis effects (Magnus effect), destabilizing the precession cone and leading to an increase in the nutation angle.
