The article presents the theoretical foundations and practical recommendations for a well-founded selection of the scenario of control for a group of small satellites as a single distributed control plant, the composition of on-board navigation sensors for each small satellite in their formation, depending on the particular problem being solved, selection of the characteristics of data transmission channels, the development of integrated systems for estimating the parameters of the relative motion of satellites, the creation of precise systems of relative navigation and control of the system. The results of the work can be used in the design of low-orbit space-based telecontrol systems for the motion of terrestrial dynamic objects controlled from a remote command post, including ones in the tasks of telemedicine and mobile robotics.
