The results of investigating the extent to which these factors depend on the structural layout (SLO) of the space vehicle are given. Ways of minimizing the negative effect of OA and plasma generated by SPE at the stage of choosing the space vehicles SLO are planned.</p>Space vehicle, own outer atmosphere, own atmosphere of unpressurized compartments, stationary plasma engine, influence, structural layoutКосмический аппаратсобственная внешняя атмосферасобственная атмосфера негерметичных отсековстационарный плазменный двигательвоздействиеконструктивно-компоновочная схема
