The heliocentric motion of the solar sail spacecraft is described in classical Keplerian elements. The flat of solar sail with an ideal reflection coefficient is considered. The spacecraft performs a noncoplanar motion with the sun gravity and the light pressure. Disturbances of other celestial bodies gravity are not considered. We have received analytical terms for laws to control a solar sail, which ensure constancy or maximum rate of change of the Keplerian elements. To confirm the results correctness, we simulated the solar sail spacecraft. The spacecraft’s initial orbit coincides with the average Earth orbit relative to the Sun. Authors developed a program complex to simulated the planar heliocentric movement and obtained results for motion simulation of flights to Mars and Venus. The results were compared with the simulation results obtained using the Pontryagin maximum principle.
