Acta Mechanica Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary.

The paper deals with the dynamics of a gyrostat satellite acted upon by the Newtonian forces of N coplanar big bodies, ν=N−1 of which are arranged at equal distances on the periphery of a circle, while the Nth body is located at the mass center of the system. The gyrostat’s equations of motion are derived and its equilibrium states as well as their stability are studied.
