Abstract
The motion of a subsatellite containing a rotor rotating with constant angular velocity is considered. The subsatellite is tethered 20 a spa ce shuttle which is moving with constant angular velocity in a central Newtonian field. Conditions for the existence of relative equilibria are given and their stability is discussed.
