Presented method allows one to calculate the of maneuvers performed on several turns using a low-thrust engine. These maneuvers ensure the flight of an active spacecraft within a given area of the target space object. The flight is carried out in the vicinity of a circular orbit. Simplified mathematical models of motion are used to solve this problem. The influence of the non-centrality of the gravitational field and atmosphere is not taken into account in the calculations. The process of determ
