Singularities of oscillations of a satellite on highly eccentric elliptic orbits. (English) Zbl 0898.34034
Singularities of an equation describing oscillations of a satellite with respect to its mass center are considered $(1+e\cos V) \;{{d^2\delta}\over{dV^2}}-2e\sin V\;{{d\delta}\over{dV}}+\mu \sin\delta =4e\sin V .$ Here $$\delta$$ is the doubled angle between the radius vector of the mass center of the satellite and one of its axis of inertia; $$\mu$$ is the inertial parameter of the satellite; $$e$$ is the eccentricity of the orbit; $$V$$ is the true anomaly of the position of the satellite on the orbit; $$e\leq 1$$, $$| \mu | \leq 3$$. It is regular if $$e<1$$. For $$e=1$$ and $$V=\pi$$, it is singular since the coefficient of the higher derivative vanishes. In this case the study of the motion as function of $$\mu$$ is reduced to a study of three limit equations, named basic, first and second. The dynamics of the system is completely studied.
