FIELD: astronautics.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the spacecraft (SC) with solar batteries (SB) operation control. Method comprises the SC given orientation maintenance and the SB setting to the Sun by the working surface. Measure the angular position of the spacecraft in inertial space, the load current (In) and temperature sat. Supporting the SB angular deviation from the direction to the Sun in the range from zero to the value determined by the current ratio In to its maximum value. Under this condition, the SCs are turned relative to the spacecraft before reaching a predetermined level of heat flow to the area of the spacecraft surface shaded from the Sun and the Earth (where the deficit of heat is observed) from radiation reflected by the surface of the SB. Memorizing measured at that the SC angular position, and with the SC current position subsequent deviation from it, repeating the SB mentioned rotation. In the shadow part of the orbit, these operations are carried out, taking into account only the radiation from the Earth.
EFFECT: technical result consists in providing the required heating (elimination of overcooling) of the outer surface of the spacecraft.
