Stability of station due to periodic motions of crew is considered; it is shown by few examples that instability may occur if period of astronaut's motion bears certain ratios to half-period of spin of satellite; exact forbidden intervals of periods of motion depend on type and amplitude of his motion, satellite's geometry and inertia, man's mass, etc; general equations are given which are useful for analyzing other modes of crew motion or for other problems such as passive damping of spinning satellite.
