Specificity of motion control of spacecraft with solar sail is determined by the connection of the orbital translation and rotational motions of the whole structure of spacecraft. In order to control the flight, we have to change the size or orientation of the sails. It requires the additional use of energy or fuel costs. The most interesting version of the sail model is that the sail itself would provide control over the correct orientation and maintain the desired position. Stability provides of the moments forces about the center of mass which change the value, if there is a change for small deviations.
