Abstract: | Rotational motion of a satellite influenced by solar radiation pressure and tidal forces have been investigated. Melnikov's integral has been evaluated to establish the non-integrability of the equation of motion. The time series and poincare surface of section have been drawn for different ranges of values of solar radiation parameter, tidal parameter and eccentricity of the orbit to indicate the influence of these quantities. |
