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.
