The effects of the type of spacecraft stabilization used on the choice of the apogee motor are considered. The two stabilization modes were compared by analyzing spin stabilization on one part and an example of three-axis stabilization for a liquid motor on the other. Results of the comparison show that, although a more detailed study is necessary for three-axis stabilization, it is feasible and allows use of liquid propellant even in the case of an unsteady vehicle.
