FIELD: methods of control of motion of space vehicle in weak external field of active and inertial forces. SUBSTANCE: line of undisturbed flexible coupling in form of arcs 3a and 3b of circles is formed between coupled space objects 1 and 2. Contour motion at velocity vc is imparted to coupled along this line and then transverse waves are excited on one of space objects by means of devices 4 and 5 for shift flexible coupling elements. These waves travel along coupling in direction of velocity vc to other object. Waves give rise to variation of tension of flexible coupling; space object taking up these waves is controlled by their action. Devices 4 and 5 may be made in form of multi-member truss masts with transformable members. Drives for transformation of members are connected with control devices in such way that multi-stage displacement of mast members give rise to generation of waves on one space object taking up these waves on other space object in servo operation. EFFECT: enhanced reliability. 8 cl, 10 dwg
