Abstract
The equilibrium configurations of a deformable spinning satellite are investigated. The system is modelled by three interconnected rigid bodies, two of them having the characteristics of rigidified cables or beams. The equilibrium conditions and stability criteria of this particular system are provided by the multibody formalism. Using these conditions, all the equilibrium configurations which cannot a priori be found to be unstable are determined.
