The results of reprocessing of magnetic measurements performed on the Foton-12 satellite (in orbit on September 9–24, 1999) are described. The processing was carried out in order to reconstruct the uncontrolled rotational motion of this satellite. The reprocessing used a simpler mathematical model of the rotational motion than the processing performed shortly after the flight. The simplifications were made in such a way that the new model was accurate enough to match the models used by V.V. Beletskiy when studying the evolution of the uncontrolled rotational motion of a satellite in the case in which this motion is close to the regular Euler precession of an axisymmetric rigid body. The results of processing measurements in 25 short (3.5 h) time intervals were directly compared with the averaged equations arising in Beletskiy’s theory. The evolution of the Foton-12 motion is well described by these equations in the second half of the flight, when the angular velocity of the satellite was within 0.8°–1.0°/s.
