When the formation flying consists of satellites that are independent from each other and forms a virtual synthetic aperture telescope replaces single large with all its optical elements it is required mutual coordination between high accuracy in order to achieve good observations. In this paper we consider problem developing control system for tetrahedral satellite representing geostationary orbit resolution monitoring fire forest area infrared spectrum. Synthesizing image quality requires keep configuration µm-class accuracy. Study dynamics passive uncontrolled motion showed significant deviation shape frequency due action gravitational forces. To form µm analysis efficiency various controllers was carried out process numerical simulation. The simulation results made possible highlight features using approaches development telescope.
