Abstract

The mutual interaction of orbit-attitude maneuvers of spin-stablized satellites is investigated by application of theTwo Variable Expansion Procedure to the Euler equations. The resulting semi-analytical solution describes the short periodic nutation, the long-term attitude variation and the mean linear acceleration of the center of mass. Some applications of the solution are shown by means of a few examples.
