The dynamics of large orbital space system connected in a chain

The mathematical model of a large orbital space system (LOSS) connected in a chain is considered in this paper. Motion of 5-mass system is studied. It is assumed that the system consists of weighted points connected by rods and the lengths of the rods and the masses of the points are equal. The system is moved in the central gravitational field of the Earth. Successive states of the system in the moving coordinates during one revolution around the gravitational center of the Earth is described in the paper.
