FIELD: satellite communications engineering. SUBSTANCE: quantitative control of coverage of moving satellite communication system by antenna pattern cells and of gaps in its coverage is effected by determining relative spatial position of overlapping or separated cells where antenna coverage of one or more cells from first moving satellite will cover or go away from one or more overlapping or separated cells. EFFECT: provision for eliminating unwanted interaction between cells without producing considerable gaps between adjacent antenna patterns. 23 cl, 7 dwg
