My collegues and I have been arguing about something.  We would like
an expert opinion about it.

Does the Moon rotate about its axis (or any other) as it orbits the Earth?

If a non geo-stationary orbiting body always presents the same face to
the Earth, does it rotate about its axis (or any other) as it orbits?

Does a geo-stationary satellite which always presents the same face to
its primary rotate about its axis (or any other) as it orbits?

Please email even if you post to the group.  Thanks.
