Providing Means of a Communications Continuity with Objects while the "Lunar" Programs Implementation
Ways to solve problems of providing a communications continuity with objects during «Lunar» programs based on an utilization of retransmission space resources to ensure a reliable providing of manned missions to the Moon and to the Mars and a service of manned bases on their surfaces are examined. As a preferred variant of an orbital structure of a relay system in relation to an ordered task proposed a displacement of a spacecraft (SC) grouping on type «Tundra» high elliptical orbits (HEO). Based on the modeling, data are shown that the two spacecraft on a «Tundra» HEO will provide a communications continuity with almost all SC located on leaving flight orbits to solar system objects, including the Moon.
