A new mathematical model to predict the beam pointing instability of a nonconservative two‐body satellite system in spinning injection mode has been developed by using Newton‐Euler and projection methods. Since the on‐axis and null axis of the omni antenna with toroidal pattern beam form a right angle, wobbling of the antenna on‐axis is measured by determining the Euler angles which represent the orientation of the satellite's spin axis. Because of the complexity of the system which is a time varying, nonstationary, nonlinear dynamical system, a numerical method is used for the analysis. Computer simulation results present the effects of the mass distribution and internal mass motion on the antenna beam pointing.
