Main aim of book is to describe research tools and to bring out principal properties of this motion; discussion is confined to problems which fall within scope of dynamics of rigid bodies; analysis of satellite's motion about its mass center is concerned with possibility of passive attitude control of satellites, namely, attitude control by space-environment torques; basic aim is to find natural equilibrium attitudes of satellite, to analyze their stability, and to investigate motion in vicinity of these equilibria. Translated from Izdatel'stvo Nauka Glavnaya Redaktisiya Fiziko-Matematicheskoi Literatury, published in Moscow 1965 by Israel Program for Sci Translations, Jerusalem, 1966.
