On the Libration of the Orbital Plane of a Stationary Artificial Satellite with a Circular Orbit

Naosuke Sekiguchi

Open publisher page 5 citations

Abstract

Abstract There were found six equilibrium points L1 ‣ L6 as the position of the pole of the orbital plane of a satellite having the period of a sidereal day and a circular orbit. The liberations around L1 and L3 are stable and have period of 53.0 years, those around L2 and L4 are unstable, and those around L5 and L6 are stable and have period of 268 years.
