In this article, methods of transmitting the information from low-orbit satellites to the Earth are considered. Transferring the information from a low-orbit satellite to geostationary spacecraft at millimeter-wave frequencies that strongly attenuate in the atmosphere is proposed. The possibility of transmitting information from a low-orbit satellite transmitter with a power no more than 1–2 W and small-sized antenna arrays on the communication line is shown.
