"The elastic stability of the booms on a gravity gradient stabilized Alouette type satellite is investigated to determine the critical lengths above which the booms will take on large deflect ions under the influence of the gravitational and centrifugal force fields. If the booms are not structurally damaged by the large deflections, the satellite may take up one of several stable configurations. A criterion involving the boom lengths is derived for the stability of the gravity gradient orientation for zero boom deflections. The derivation includes the flexibility of the booms"--Abstract, page 1. Issued also in print format. Artificial satellites Stability. Artificial satellites Attitude control systems.
