The paper examines the selection of the orbit of an artificial earth satellite which, together with a ground-based observatory, is a component of an VLBI. The orbit is evaluated on the basis of a quality criterion Phi that takes into account the linear dimensions of the orbit and the evolution rate of the orbit plane. Orbits that approximately satisfy the conditions of Phi-optimality are found in a class of nonplanar trajectories with periodic flybys of the moon. In addition, the injection of a satellite into such orbits from low circular earth orbit must be carried out via a single impulse. It is shown that the magnitude of this impulse is practically equal to the minimum impulse required to reach the moon.
