The paper considers the problem of a small-spacecraft elastic elements’ temperature shock that occurs when the spacecraft immerses into the Earth’s shadow or comes out of it. A small spacecraft with two elastic elements is simulated. In the first approximation, such a problem is considered to be a symmetric problem. Estimations of disturbing factors from the temperature shock in a symmetric formulation are obtained. The differences from the results for a small spacecraft with a single elastic element are analyzed. The results of the work can be used for promising small technological spacecraft development, as well as for solving problems of space debris removal and remote sensing of the Earth.
