METHOD OF ORIENTING MOVABLE EQUIPMENT ON BOARD MANNED SPACECRAFT Russian patent published in 2019 - IPC B64G1/66 F41G3/00 

FIELD: aerospace engineering.

SUBSTANCE: position of landmark and movable equipment (ME) relative to manned spacecraft (MS), position of reference point is determined relative to ME. Additionally, displaying command information (CI) of given set of transfer and rotation operations ME relative to MS to achieve simulated positions ME relative to MS and determining speed and accuracy of transfer and rotation ME. Selecting landmark for operation with ME, determining current and predicted on a given time interval position parameters relative to MS, determined and reproduced CI successively to transfer ME in required location and turn ME in required angular position. CI is determined based on speed and accuracy of transfer and rotation ME. Correcting speed and accuracy of transfer and turning ME. Operations are performed until required positions are achieved ME. At the moment of parameters matching, a control command is generated ME. Repeating the actions starting with the reference point selection.

EFFECT: accounting for speed and accuracy of orientation, including transfer and rotation ME, with simultaneous control ME.
