A method of command of magneto-torquers of an attitude control system of a space vehicle subjected to an external magnetic field of variable direction. The magneto-torquers are configured to desaturate an angular momentum storage device by transferring angular momentum and configured to form, in cooperation with the local external magnetic field, magnetic couples in a plane orthogonal to the direction of the local external magnetic field or a local control plane. The magnetic couple to be formed in the local control plane is determined as a function of the component of a desired attitude control couple which is orthogonal to the local control plane or a locally uncontrollable component. The contribution of the locally uncontrollable component to the magnetic couple to be formed is non-zero when the locally uncontrollable component is non-zero.
