FIELD: space engineering; TV control systems for spacecraft videospectral sets. SUBSTANCE: control system functions to guide set of research and TV equipment to orbital space or underlying-surface references. In has functional units ensuring automatic guidance and tracking of desired targets whose coordinates are entered in system. Target can be also selected directly by its image on TV monitor screen, that is, without entering its coordinates. Remote-control functional units introduced in system provided for manned charging of orientation of sighting axis of turnable mounting TV and research equipment to new target chosen in real time by TV image followed by automatic tracking of new target. Functional units introduced in system also provide for turntable guidance control, manned charging of equipment orientation from ground station, for example, when spacecraft occurs visibility zone. Newly introduced functional units ensure monitoring and acknowledging control information. EFFECT: improved reliability of control system. 9 dwg
