The paper considers a three-dimension nonlinear motion of a spacecraft with frame-type solar sail. The mathematical model of a guided heliocentric motion is described within combined polar coordinate system. The locally optimal control laws of orbital element maintenance and correction are formulated. The solar sail spacecraft guided motion is analyzed. The flight trajectory, dependency graphs of flight parameters against duration are obtained.
