The analysis of flight planning methods for spacecraft inspecting groups of objects on the geostationary orbit is conducted. The analysis includes solving the problem of ballistic support for the fly-around of space object on the geostationary orbit. The flight plan includes optimal search of the optimal fly-around plan with minimum characteristic speed expenses provided that the allowable time limits are not breached. The optimal solution is done using direct search method — depth-first search with constraints imposed on the search depth and the number of tentative variants of node branching. The obtained quasi-optimal solution depends on the set node branching depth limited by the allowable computational cost.
