Abstract
The stability of the plane oscillations of a satellite about the centre of mass in a central Newtonian gravitational field is investigated. The orbit of the centre of mass is circular and the principal central moments of inertia of the satellite are different. In unperturbed motion, one of the axes of inertia is perpendicular to the plane of the orbit, while the satellite performs periodic oscillations about a direction fixed in absolute space. The problem of the stability of these oscillations with respect to plane and spatial perturbations is investigated.
