Nonlinear coupling between the in-plane and out-of-plane motion about a stationary point in geosynchronous orbit
Abstract
The range of validity of the solutions in the vicinity of the libration points include significant out-of-plane oscillations by the satellite. The stability of inclined geosynchronous satellites is studied.
