English abstract:
A long dumb-bell satellite in the radial configuration represents a simple model of a Space Elevator. The dumb-bell moves
with the angular velocity of the planet, but not relative to it. To calculate the stability of such a relative equilibrium we used
the reduced energy-momentum method. We considered dumb-bell satellite models with rigid and elastic, but massless, rods.
