Heteroclinic Chaos in Attitude Dynamics of a Dual-Spin Spacecraft at Small Oscillations of its Magnetic Moment
Author:
Abstract: The paper contains an investigation results in the heteroclinic dynamics of a magnetic (magnetized) dual-spin spacecraft (DSSC) in the geomagnetic field at the realization of the orbital motion of its mass centre along an equatorial circular orbit. Exact heteroclinic analytical solutions are obtained. These analytical exact solutions are used for the research of the DSSC perturbed motion and its chaotization properties at the presence of small polyharmonic perturbations of the magnetic moment.
