Annotation: The conversion of the flywheel speed into a code is an important task for controlling the main characteristics in the system of orientation and stabilization of spacecrafts. Existing methods of conversion do not provide necessary speed and accuracy in the operation of the system. Solution to the problem is proposed by simple trigonometric transformations. The principle of constructing, an algorithm of its operation, means of implementation such system is considered. Results of researches are given to assess the operability and compliance with the necessary requirements for this type of system.
