The actual problems of improvement of quality of communication and large flexible antennas (LFA) characteristics are considered. It is possible to solve these problems on condition that high precision of antenna reflector surface shape and its space attitude with respect to a feeder. A precision guidance systems of LFA are necessary to meet the requirements to LFA shape and its pointing to a given position during orbit operation. The guidance system should provide a given accuracy of a profile of reflecting surface of LFA reflector with respect to a theoretical profile as well as a positioning precision relative to a feeder. Considering the tasks that the guidance system of LFA performs, the analysis of requirements to the guidance system of LFA is fulfilled that allows the main technical requirements to the system and its elements to be determined. The main approaches and principles of designing of such systems are specified as well as alternatives of its structure are studied. Methods and techniques of LFA shape control are considered.
