A study of predicting the rotational motion of a rigid body satellite orbiting the earth under the influence of external torques is presented. The attitude motion in response to external torques is formulated as a perturbation from a nominal torque-free case; the equations of motion are parameterized by the ratio of the orbital and attitude frequencies. The independent variable time is extended into a space of higher dimension by using new fast and slow scales. The theory is applied for predicting the attitude dynamics of an asymmetric rigid-body satellite.
