Abstract
Advances in the development of small satellites, combined with the availability of low-cost launches, have led to an increase in the number of space flights. As space becomes more accessible than ever before, new and innovative missions are emerging. A set of achievements in the field of automatic systems, control system devices, computer systems, control system executive bodies, methods and methods of control system integration, which made it possible to create multi-purpose, multi-mode systems with a long active life cycle, systems with maximum autonomy and automation of control processes, is shown. This article presents the achievements and prospects of spacecraft control systems over the past three decades. The problematic issues of increasing the accuracy of orientation and stabilization are considered.
