The optimal control problem of maneuvering a rigid body, rotating around its center of masses, is solved for arbitrary maneuvers in the connected frame of the angular velocity vectors. The initial and end points of the maneuver are arbitrary and the time of maneuver is free. The problem is important for the space vehicle control. The solution is obtained in closed form in terms of sliding mode. The method of passive integrals will be described together with Krotov-Bellman sufficient conditions.
