Methods for the motion control of a space robot flying by an information geostationary satellite during visual inspection of its technical state are considered. The robot attitude and orbit control system employs electric propulsion unit with 8 catalytic propulsion engines and pulse-width modulation of their thrust, and also a gyro moment cluster based on 4 gyrodines with digital control. The results of computer simulation demonstrating the effectiveness of the developed discrete control algorithms are presented.
