Abstract
A simple model is considered for a spaceship (SS) of changing configur ation, consisting of a rigid body to which two rods are attached by cy lindrical hinges. While performing certain technical tasks the spacesh ip is brought into a state of permanent rotation about an axis. It is shown that, for certain values of the structural parameters, such a ro tation can be gyroscopically stabilized. A qualitative analysis of the range of gyroscopic stabilization in parameter space is carried out.
