Abstract

This paper deals with the study of the non-linear planar oscillation of a satellite in a circular orbit under the influence of aerodynamic torque. Throught Melnikov's method, we have discussed that the equations of motion are non-integrable. The non-integrability in Earth-Satellite system has also been discussed graphically.
