Summary
Stability of an attitude motion of a large dual spin spacecraft is studied; the effects of various kinds of asymmetries of the spacecraft and energy dissipations in the spacecraft are examined. Attitude instabilities due to interactions between the asymmetries and the interactions between the asymmetries and the energy dissipations are examined in detail. The analysis is based on the method of multiple time scales. The results are verified by numerical solutions based on the Floquet’s theorem.
