Аннотация. The problem of determining the orientation of a spacecraft using instantaneous measurements is investigated. A number of algorithms for determining the spacecraft orientation using one-time measurements of various physical nature are presented: TRIAD, Optimized TRIAD, q-Method, QUEST, ESOQ, ESOQ2, SVD. The following properties of the algorithms implemented in the MatLab mathematical package are analyzed: running time, average value and standard deviation of the orientation determination error measure, and the number of floating-point operations.
