<I>Abstract: </I><br><br>

The problem of controlling multi-satellite orbital spacecraft groupings as multifunctional systems in conditions of limited control resources is considered. The content of the target indicators of the functioning of multi-satellite space systems is determined and a hierarchical structure of management tasks is proposed, at the upper levels of which the tasks of managing system and target effects are introduced. The general task of managing the system effect includes the following specific tasks: managing the target effect, the orbital structure, the size of the orbital group, system resources, the information exchange network, and the computer network. The factors influencing the spacecraft management process are analyzed, and the conditions for the stability of control of a multi-satellite constellation are determined. The factors leading to the degradation of the system are considered, and options for their parrying based on the principles of homeostasis are proposed. 
<br><br>
The content of new tasks by types of information control support is given and the ways of developing an automated spacecraft control system for multi-satellite groupings are substantiated. It is concluded that it is necessary to develop practical methods for managing the systemic effect of a multi-agent system with limited management resources, and a flight experiment is proposed to develop technologies for group control of spacecraft clusters based on the CubeSat form factor.
