Mechanics of ferry service to manned space station moving in circular satellite orbit is analyzed by deducing relations for control and navigation of process which include characteristic parameters for transfer ellipse, velocity boosts, constellation angle at moment of firing of ferry and time intervals for transfer; procedures devised are correction method by full ferry cycle transit, and short-arc correction, characteristic for small corrections and short transfer time.
