In the work "Optimization methodology of hierarchical control of orbit constellations" a new approach is proposed to the research of hierarchical optimization problem of large control systems. The unique methods are developed which allow determining the laws of spacecraft optimal control during the different flight stages without the use of complicated calculation procedures of boundary tasks solution. The development of hierarchical principles of optimization is one of the tendencies for methodology improvement of research of control operations in different areas of science and technology. The proposed methodological approach can be widely used in the fields of space navigation, aviation, machine building, monitoring of near earth space, mathematical modelling, optimal control.
