Abstract :
Recently, space science and engineering advanced new problem before theoretical mechanics and motion control theory: a spacecraft directed respinup by the weak restricted control internal torques. The paper presents some results on this problem, which is very actual for energy supply of the communication mini-satellites with plasma thrusters and large-scale solar array panels at initial mission modes.
