Abstract. The issues of ensuring high speed and reliability of data transmission of a satellite communication line in the Arctic are considered. The main problem for the millimeter wave implementation is the possible meteorological conditions for radio wave propagation in the cold time of a year. The vertical profiles of meteorological data for a couple of islands in the Arctic Ocean had been used for the calculations of the molecular absorption on a possible communication link. The very simple model for the possible rain attenuation on such link had been proposed. Possible satellite orbits for the link budget calculations have been copied from the existing satellite system “Gonetz”, operating at frequencies 300/400 MHz.  The calculation results show that the satellite communication in millimeter waves in the Arctic conditions is possible.

Key words: satellite communications, telecommunications, radiowave propagation, millimeter waves, the Arctic meteorological data.
