The rotational motion of an axi-symmetrical satellite with respect to its center of mass which is in his turn moves on an elliptical orbit according to the Beletsky equation is considered. By numerical methods and Maple computer algebra system families of the so-called generalized periodic solutions with the integral rotational numbers are found. The eccentricity of the satellite orbit is taken as a parameter of the periodic solutions. The results of the numerical investigations are presented in the numerous diagrams. It should be noted that according to the results of \textit{N.Yu. Saburova} [Arkhangel'skii Gos. Tekhn. Univ., Trudy Kafedry Priklad. Mat. 3, 60--81 (2004)] the plane motion of the satellite's mass center is possible only if the inertia moments of the satellite satisfy the condition \(I_1 = I_2 =I_3\). It means that the inertia ellipsoid of the satellite is necessarily a sphere.
