Abstract
The libration of an extensible dumbbell satellite in a circular Earth orbit is given by a pair of nonlinear second-order ordinary differential equations. Stability of the paths about the origin of the phase space is analyzed by Lyapunov´s indirect method. It is also shown that ad hoc assumptions commonly used to transform the nonlinear equations into linear equations do not produce reliable stability criterion for libration
