FIELD: astronautics.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to motion control of spacecrafts (SC) and can be used for SC navigation in far space. Method involves laser beam scanning a given area of space by reflecting beam from a mirror on a turntable installed in electromechanical suspension. Platform move in azimuth and elevation is set by system of electromagnets, powered by current in form of a saw-toothed pulse train. Direction to the space object (SO) is determined from the parameters of the scanning pulses at which the signal reflected from the SO laser radiation is detected. Intensity of laser radiation in the source is modulated with a harmonic oscillation; laser radiation reflected from the space object is detected by a photomultiplier, and registered signals are amplified by a radio device tuned to the frequency of harmonic oscillations of radiation in the source.
EFFECT: higher range of controlled SO.
