On the librational dynamics of damped satellites
The thesis examines diverse methods of damping the librational motion of earth-orbiting satellites. Starting with passive stabilization, two classical mechanisms for energy dissipation are studied, for performance comparison, when executing librations in the orbital plane. The first model, consistin...
