Abstract

The following asymmetries of spacecraft solar panels are considered: mass, linear and asymmetry of points connecting big elastic elements to the spacecraft body. Micro-accelerations are shown to increase when asymmetries of the above mentioned types appear. Conclusions about the importance of geometrical symmetries for successful gravity-sensitive experiments or technological processes on board space laboratories are discussed.
