This article presents the results of statistical observations of an operating communications spacecraft. The functioning of the orientation system to the Earth is considered. For ensure the reliability of communication between the satellite and ground stations, it is important to have a constant direction to the coverage area. For this, the spacecraft has an orientation system to the Earth. The orientation aims to create a reliable connection on the territory of the country of the spacecraft owner. The article examines the analysis of the operation of the satellite guidance system to the Earth using the example of a telecommunications communication satellite of the Republic of Kazakhstan. At the same time, the satellite orientation system to the Sun works in parallel to organize a stable and stable connection. The statistics of the operation of the orientation system to the Earth are presented. For this, the satellite has devices responsible for positioning – the orientation devices to the Earth. There are two given devices, namely, POZ-1 and POZ-2. The analysis of real statistics is given. The forecast of the system operation for the next nine years has been made.
