                            AbstractThe possibility of orienting very large ultra-light balloon-like  MW antennas, orbiting in the Earth magnetic field,   through electric currents flowing in Cu wires embedded in the antennas walls, are examined. It is shown  that such currents may  easily provide the needed forces without the necessity of mechanically orienting the antenna itself.
