FIELD: effective control means of space vehicle and orbital station attitude. SUBSTANCE: method consists in determination of parameters of turn of space vehicle (at acceleration, free rotation and deceleration) to required attitude within preset length of time. During free rotation of space vehicle, required corrective turn angle is compared with rated angle of turn of space vehicle at deceleration. In case corrective turn angle exceeds rated angle of turn, angular motion of space vehicle is corrected by pulses at determination of moment of momentum required for placing the space vehicle in preset attitude at free rotation and control moment is applied to space vehicle till actual moment of momentum coincides with preset one. Deceleration of space vehicle is started when angle of corrective turn gets equal to rated angle of turn of space vehicle at deceleration. EFFECT: enhanced accuracy of turn of space vehicle at reduced power requirements. 8 cl, 2 dwg
