The realization of existing projects of on-orbit servicing and the development of new ones is a steady trend in the development of space technology. In many cases, on-orbit service clients are objects that exhibit an undesired rotary motion, which renders their servicing difficult or impossible. The problem of on-orbit service object motion control determines the topicality of studies aimed not only at the refinement of methods and algorithms of controlling both the translational and the rotary motion of an object, but also at the development and refinement of methods of onboard determination of the object – service spacecraft relative motion parameters. This paper overviews the state of the art of the problem of object motion parameter determination in on-orbit servicing tasks and existing methods of object motion control and angular motion damping and specifies lines of further investigations into the angular motion control of non-cooperative service objects. Based on the analysis of publications on the subject, the applicability of onboard means for object motion parameter determination is characterized. The analysis of the applicability of methods of remote determination of the parameters of an unknown non-cooperative object from a service spacecraft shows that they are at the research stage. The input data for the verification of methods proposed in the literature were simulated or taken from ground experiments or previous missions. Contact and contactless methods of angular motion control of non-cooperative on-orbit service objects are considered. From the state of the art of investigations into the contactless motion control of on-orbit service objects it may be concluded that the most advanced contactless method of motion control of an on-orbit service object is a technology based on the use of an ion beam directed to the object from an electrojet engine onboard a service spacecraft. Lines of further investigations into non-cooperative object motion control are proposed.

Study Design: Retrospective. Objectives: To present rarely reported complex fractures of the upper cervical spine (C1-C2) and discuss the clinical results of the posterior temporary C1-2 pedicle screws fixation for C1-C2 stabilization. Methods: A total of 19 patients were included in the study (18 males and 1 female). Their age ranged from 23 to 66 years (mean age of 39.6 years). The patients were diagnosed with complex fractures of the atlas and the axis of the upper cervical spine and underwent posterior temporary C1-2 pedicle screws fixation. The patients underwent a serial postoperative clinical examination at approximately 3, 6, 9 months, and annually thereafter. The neck disability index (NDI) and the range of neck rotary motion were used to evaluate the postoperative clinical efficacy of the patients. Results: The average operation time and blood loss were 110 ± 25 min and 50 ± 12 ml, respectively. The mean follow-up was 38 ± 11 months (range 22 to 60 months). The neck rotary motion before removal, immediately after removal, and the last follow-up were 68.7 ± 7.1°, 115.1 ± 11.7°, and 149.3 ± 8.9° ( P < 0.01). The NDI scores before and after the operation were 42.7 ± 4.3, 11.1 ± 4.0 ( P < 0.01), and the NDI score 2 days after the internal fixation was removed was 7.3 ± 2.9, which was better than immediately after the operation ( P < 0.01), and 2 years after the internal fixation was removed. The NDI score was 2.0 ± 0.8, which was significantly better than 2 days after the internal fixation was taken out ( P < 0.001). Conclusions: Posterior temporary screw fixation is a good alternative surgical treatment for unstable C1-C2 complex fractures.
