    • An on-orbit servicing spacecraft (1) comprising an engagement system (4) to engage a space vehicle or object (5) to be serviced or tugged, so as to form a space system (6); and an electronic reaction control system (7) to cause the spacecraft (1) to rotate about roll, yaw, and pitch axes to control attitude and displacement along given trajectories to cause the spacecraft (1) to carry out given manoeuvres. The electronic reaction control system (7 ) comprises a sensory system (8 ) to directly sense physical quantities or allow physical quantities to be indirectly computed based on sensed physical quantities comprising one or more of position, attitude, angular rates, available fuel, geometrical features, and onboard systems state; attitude control thrusters (9) mounted so as to allow their positions and orientations to be adjustable; and an attitude control computer (10) in communication with the sensory system (8) and the attitude control thrusters (9) and programmed to receive data from the sensory system (8) and to control, based on the received data, positions, orientations, and operating states of the attitude control thrusters (9) so as to control attitude and position of the spacecraft (l).The attitude control computer (10) is programmed to cause the spacecraft (1) to carry out a given mission comprising an engagement step, in which the engagement system (4) and the attitude control thrusters (9) are controlled by the attitude control computer (10) to engage a space vehicle or object (5) to be serviced or tugged, and one or more operating steps, in each of which the attitude control thrusters (9) are controlled by the attitude control computer (10) to meet one or more requirements established for the operating step. Each operating step may comprise at least one stabilisation sub-step (FS), during which the attitude of the space system (6) is stabilised in accordance with the requirements of the operating step and with a given optimisation criterion, followed by a steady operating sub-step (FR), which starts when the stabilisation sub-step of the attitude of the space system (6) ends. In each operating step the attitude control computer (10) is further programmed to optimise a configuration of the attitude control thrusters (9) in accordance with the requirements of the operating step by implementing an iterative process of optimisation of the configuration of the attitude control thrusters (9).
