Alternative solutions to increase the duration of microgravity calm period on board the space laboratory

The present paper considers the method of the space laboratory control. As compared to traditional low-thrust liquid fuel rocket engines attitude control this method gives an opportunity to increase favorable conditions period in running gravity-sensitive technological processes on board the laboratory. By design techniques, passive orientation means and microgravity platforms comparative analysis of problem solving means alternative methods with the proposed one has been performed. The advantages and disadvantages of each mean have been analyzed and the effectiveness of the suggested solution is shown.
