Abstract
The paper discusses development of spacecraft control systems from the first vehicles to up-to-date space complexes. Academician B.N. Petrov was one the founders of the spacecraft control theory. Advances in automatic systems, control system instrumentation, computers, actuators, and control system techniques which allowed of development of multi-purpose and multi-mode systems with long-term active life cycle and systems with the maximum endurance and control process automation are examined.
