Attitude Guidance and Control of Mini-satellites and Free-flying Robots*

Abstract The information mini-satellites (for communication, geodesy, radio- and optoelectronic 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 principle problems with respect to their spatial attitude guidance and control. In the paper these problems are considered and obtained results are presented.
