Abstract :
Methods for attitude & orbit control of the information satellites with economical expending of the energy and fuel onboard resources are presented. We consider the land-survey mini-satellites with an orbit altitude from 600 up to 800 km when their lifetime must be up to 10 years and economical control is actual problem.
