Study of an Artificial Earth's Satellite Stationary Motions in the Single-Axis Attitude Magnetic Orientation Mode

摘要

Angular motion of an axisymmetrical artificial satellite with a permanent magnet in the real magnetic field of the Earth was investigated. The satellite orbit was calculated taking into account the major perturbing factors, and the satellite dipole moment was parallel to the axis of symmetry. Satellite stationary motions were constructed, where this axis constituted a narrow angle with the Earth's magnetic field vector. Possibility was demonstrated of approximating such motions by a sequence of periodic solutions of modified motion equations. Sequence composed of such solutions also approximated the spectrum of stationary motion.
