PASSIVE AERODYNAMIC ATTITUDE STABILIZATION OF NEAR EARTH SATELLITES. VOLUME 3. MATHEMATICAL TECHNIQUES AND COMPUTER PROGRAM

Abstract

A computer program is presented which integrates numerically the pitch equation of an aerodynamically stabilized satellite. The mathematical theory of the linear second order equation with periodic coefficients and the integration procedure are discussed to clarify the structure and application of the program.
