Abstract :
The most widespread ways of guidance of antenna system on a space vehicle (SV) provide for usage of additional equipment (radio beacon) onboard of space vehicle that reduces in additional expending of its power resources. In the paper it is offered to abandon GPS receiver and transmitter of a radio beacon at the expense of usage of improved antenna system, which ensures its self-steering on a signal of an information channel in a monopulse mode. It is offered to use for this aim a multimirror antenna system as large module antenna consisting of 4 not rotationally symmetric mirror antennas, which allow one to provide reliability of the useful information receiving with desired quality.
