Abstract
At present the Radioastron (RA) Earth's satellite having very elliptic orbit is used for probing of the gravitational red shift effect [1, 2]. Objective of this test consists in the enhancing accuracy of measurement to check the correspondence of value of the effect to Einsten's theory at one order of value better then in was done in the GP-A experiment [3]. There are two H-masers in disposal, one at the board of satellite and other at the Land Tracking Station (LTS). One can compare its mutual time rate using communication radio links between RA and LTS. In contrast with the GP-A experiment there is a possibility of measurement repetition and accumulation of data in the process of RA orbital circulation. In principle it might be resulted in the increasing of the integral accuracy. In this paper we investigate the achievable accuracy in the frame of particular method of the red shift extraction associated with the techical specific of RA mission.
