In this paper we prove the exact controllability to trajectories of the magneto-micropolar fluid equations with distributed controls. We first establish new Carleman inequalities for the associated linearized system which lead to its null controllability. Then, combining the null controllability of the linearized system with an inverse mapping theorem, we deduce the local exact controllability to trajactories of the nonlinear problem. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification. 93B05, 35Q35, 93C20.
