Abstract: The problem of optimal reorientation of the spacecraft's orbit is solved with the help of the Pontryagin maximum principle and quaternion equations. Control (thrust vector, orthogonal to the orbital plane) is limited in magnitude. Functional, which determines a quality of control process is weighted sum of time and module (or square) of control. We have formulated a differential boundary problems of reorientation of spacecraft's orbit. We have obtained optimal control laws, built the transversality conditions, not containing Lagrange multipliers. Examples of numerical solution of the problem are given.

Key words: optimal control, spacecraft, quaternion.
