Stabilization of stationary motions of a satellite near the center of mass in a geomagnetic field. I

In this paper, we consider problems of stabilization of stationary motions (equilibrium positions and regular precessions) of a satellite near the center of mass in gravitational and magnetic fields under the assumption that the center of mass moves in a circular orbit. Mathematical models of the problems considered are systems of differential equations with periodic coefficients. We present a rigorous analytical approach to this problem, which allows efficient and correct construction of stabilization algorithms. The method is based on the reducibility of nonstationary systems that describe these problems to stationary systems. Solutions for a number of problems of stabilizing stationary motions of a satellite with the help of magnetic systems are proposed. We present the results of mathematical modeling of the algorithms, which confirm the effectiveness of the developed methodology. The work is published with a continuation.
