Scientific paper

At present, space radio astronomers and engineers study the prospects of design of the second-generation ground-space interferometers for astrophysical research with the microsecond angular resolution of sources. The implemented Japanese VSOP project (1998 2003) and the Russian Radioastron project (under preparation for space flight) are related to the first generation. In this paper, the ideology and configuration of the Space-Space interferometer are considered. It would allow one to obtain principally new capabilities: to exclude the Earth’s atmosphere influence, to realize a quasi-phase-stable interferometer, and to remove the problems of electromagnetic compatibility with other services. Moreover, a capability will appear to carry out preliminary correlation processing onboard the spacecraft due to achievement of small residual uncertainties in signal delay and frequency and, owing to this, to realize onboard data compression in order to transmit data to the Earth by usual space communication channel.
