Abstract
Searching for a suitable very long baseline (VLBI) interferometer geometry is a key task in planning observations, especially imaging sessions. VLBI image quality is characterized by -coverage. With one or more radio telescopes located in space, such a task becomes more complex. This paper presents a method of recovering the optimal orbital parameters for space radio telescopes having a given desired -coverage. In turn, this task can be called the inverse of the task of searching for the optimal geometry and orbital configurations of space-ground and pure space VLBI interferometers.

期刊介绍:
Astronomy and Computing is a peer-reviewed journal that focuses on the broad area between astronomy, computer science and information technology. The journal aims to publish the work of scientists and (software) engineers in all aspects of astronomical computing, including the collection, analysis, reduction, visualisation, preservation and dissemination of data, and the development of astronomical software and simulations. The journal covers applications for academic computer science techniques to astronomy, as well as novel applications of information technologies within astronomy.
