ABSTRACT:
A spacecraft with a spacecraft body having a first axis of symmetry, X, a second axis of symmetry, Y, and a third axis of symmetry, Z. The spacecraft has four thrusters. A control system is provided on the spacecraft which is in electrical contact with the first, second, third and fourth thrusters and which controls the activation and deactivation of the first, second, third and fourth thrusters so that the attitude and orbital velocity of the spacecraft can be controlled only by the first, second, third and fourth thrusters.
