Abstract
The problem of determining all equilibria of a satellite in a circular orbit is solved in the case where the satellite is subjected to gravitational and aerodynamic torques. The number of isolated equilibria is shown to be no less than eight and no more than 24. The existence proof of one-parameter families of stationary solutions is given. Using Lyapunov's method sufficient conditions for stability of isolated equilibria are obtained.
