Abstract

Basic points of the concept of contactless space systems of active optics are formulated. They include the principles of construction, the logic of control, and structural and designing features. The generalized structure of a typical subsystem is constructed, and the basic control algorithms corresponding to the conditions of structural decomposition of similar systems are defined.
