Abstract

The optimal turn problem of a spacecraft as a solid body with spherical mass distribution for arbitrary boundary conditions with respect to the spacecraft angular position and angular velocity is considered in the quaternion formulation. The functional combining the time and the integral absolute value of the control vector applied for the spacecraft turn is used as the optimality criterion. The special control regime of the spacecraft is studied, the isolated character of this regime is demonstrated. Examples of calculations are presented.
