Abstract

For a satellite, carrying an arbitrary number of three-degree-of-freedom powered gyroscopes, the whole set of equilibrium positions in a central gravitational field in a circular orbit is determined and a detailed analysis of their secular stability is presented. The asymptotic properties of the satellite motions when there is dissipation in the axes of the gyroscope frames are investigated.
