This paper presents comprehensive information about spacecraft (SC) maneuvers in the vicinity of a circular orbit. The implementation of SC maneuvers in the vicinity of circular orbits makes it possible to solve many research and applied problems. Typical examples are the problems of rendezvous and docking of SC moving in near-circular orbits, the implementation of a group flight of several SC in a given configuration, the deployment and maintenance of low-orbit systems to solve the problems of providing communications and remote sensing of the Earth. Practical examples of SC maneuvers are given.

According to the authors, when designing a spacecraft, the main direction in the development of highly efficient designs is to optimize the distribution of specific density, the stiffness of the material according to the size of a component or construction in accordance with the field of existing loadings. This problem can be solved either by rational distribution of isotropic material, or by regulation of stiffness, strength and deformability of the material by the volume of the product. Such materials are polymeric composite materials (PCM) and their elastic-mechanical characteristics can be adjusted within a wide range, including body structure.
