Abstract :
The information mini-satellites (for communication, geodesy, radio- and opto-electronic observation of the Earth et al.) and the space free-flying robots (used for service of manned orbital space stations and for assembling the large space structures) have some principal problems with respect to their spatial guidance and control. In the paper these problems are considered and obtained results are presented.
