The effects of gravity-gradient torques during boom deployment maneuvers of a spinning spacecraft are examined with a combination of numerical and analytical methods. It is assumed that the spacecraft consists of a rigid central hub and movable rigid telescoping booms where the booms extend only along the hub principal axes. For the special case of symmetric deployment the stability boundaries are determined and a stability chart is used to study the system behavior. Possible cases of instability during this type of maneuver are identified.
