Scientific paper

Several criteria are considered for determining the orientation of a satellite in addition to fixes on bright stars and measurements of the geomagnetic-field vector. Methods used in orienting Cosmos 215 are reviewed, and it is shown that these criteria can be employed for satellite orientation: the relative positions of several faint stars, stellar color indices, the time required for a star to transit the field of view of a star sensor, the time required for the earth's limb to transit the same field of view, changes in the background detected by a star sensor when scanning near the moon while the latter is almost full, and the background level in a star sensor when scanning regions of the sky located in the Milky Way.
