It is assumed that the active spacecraft, which includes a tether system with a capture device (not deployed), is located in a close (relative to the orbit of the cargo) orbit, which was formed using some known long-range guidance algorithm.

The control of the process of approaching the spacecraft with a fictitious point in the spatial case is constructed using the Bellman dynamic programming principle using a linearized system. Continuous control is used with the help of jet engines with finite thrust. The components of the reactive forces for which the control is being constructed are directed along the transversal and binormal in the orbital coordinate system.

The features of the period under study are no visible solar flare with which the beginning of the event could be associated and an untypical time profile of proton fluxes, as well as a long duration of the existence of solar proton fluxes in near-Earth space. An attempt was made to explain the sources of the observed different variations in particle fluxes and to understand what happened on the Sun and in the near-Earth space. The source of solar protons on March 13, 2023, was an explosive process on the back side of the Sun from the Earth, registered as a coronal mass ejection of very high power. The reason for the long and complex time profile of solar protons was the contribution of particle acceleration processes on the Sun and in the interplanetary medium, as well as the modulation of particle fluxes by the structures of the interplanetary magnetic field. A possible scenario has been proposed to explain the existence of increased fluxes of solar particles on March 15–23, 2023: the formation of a heliospheric structure, this being a closed trap region formed by two interplanetary coronal mass ejections and regions of interaction of high-speed and slow solar wind streams.
