Abstract: 
The problem are solved in the synthesis of algorithms for spacecraft attitude control relative to orbital and inertial bases. The known generalizations of the direct Lyapunov method to the investigation of the stability of invariant sets of dynamic systems are used to solve the above problems. The efficiency of the algorithms obtained is il­lustrated by computer modelling of attitude system dynamics in whose loops these algorithms are used.
Keywords: algorithms for spacecraft attitude control, Lyapunov method, orbital and inertial bases
