Abstract :
Methods for attitude & orbit control of the information satellites with economical expending of the onboard energy and fuel resources are presented. We consider small information spacecraft with an orbit altitude from 550 up to 1500 km when its lifetime must be up to 10 years and economical control is actual problem.
