Abstract
The evolution of the rotation of a gyrostat satellite with slow rotor spinu p is described in the adiabatic approximation. Formulae are obtained for th e probabilities of various outcomes of the evolution. Probability phenomena arise owing to separatrix crossing. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rig hts reserved.
