Abstract:
We review some questions concerned with Simulation and computation
of attitudes for 'MIR' Orbital Complex.  Some methodical questions
concerning selection of attitudes for realization of different
scientific experiments for docking and undocking phases with transport
spaceship 'Progress', cargo spaceship 'Soyuz' and Shuttle are considered
here.  We describe some restrictions and requirements to 'MIR'
orientation during different phase of 'MIR' flight and show application
of created softwaree for computation of attitudes on examples.
