METHOD FOR CONSTRUCTING ORIENTATION OF SPACE OBJECT SEPARATED FROM ANOTHER SPACE OBJECT Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC B64G1/24 

FIELD: astronautics.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the space equipment. Method for constructing the orientation of a space object (SO) separated from another space object (ASO), includes the execution of impulses for turning the ligament of the ASO and the SO into the required orientation, using data on the orientation of the ASO and the orientation of the SO as part of the ligament to determine the parameters of the pivot. Pre-determine the angle of rotation of the ligament SO and ASO from the current orientation to the desired orientation, apply a series of pulses to turn them to the desired orientation, after undocking, determination of the orientation maintenance pulses takes place according to the current angular velocities SO and the known angular position of the ASO at the time of the undocking, after which a series of pulses is applied to realize the orientation maintenance.

EFFECT: technical result of the invention is to reduce the duration of building the orientation after separation from the ASO, regardless of the cut-off conditions in orbit.
