It is considered the possibility of optimizing the use of the power capabilities of the cube-sat platform included in the "distributed satellite" to improve the performance of its payload. To optimize the use of energy capabilities, it was proposed to disconnect the onboard equipment of the command-and-telemetric radio link in the mode of regular operation of cube-sat in the "distributed satellite". To measure the current navigation parameters of cube-satellite in the conditions of group flight in the "distributed satellite" it is proposed to use the coordinates of the cube-satellite in the satellite coordinate system of the "distributed satellite" root satellite and the relative cube-relative velocity vector relative to the root satellite as the initial data. It is proposed to use a technique based on measurements of the distances between satellites in a "distributed satellite" and the projections of the vector of relative velocity for these distances to determine the coordinates of cube-sat in the satellite coordinate system. The features of the WiMAX broadband access protocol IEEE 802.16 protocols are examined to determine whether it is possible to perform mutual position measurements of satellites as part of a "distributed satellite" in one channel with information transmission. It pointed that the use of built-in means of measuring the range and access of mobile stations to the mobile WiMAX network makes it possible to perform measurements of the distance from the root satellite to the final satellite - cube-sat in the "distributed satellite". To perform the operations of measuring distances between the final satellites in the "distributed satellite", it is proposed to use the "competitive access zone" of the uplink sub-frame in the WiMAX network. A procedure for measuring the range between terminal satellites is proposed, based on measuring the propagation time of the distance measurement test signal between the assigned terminal satellites. It proposed a procedure for transmitting a test signal, taking into account the features of multiple access with orthogonal carrier separation (OFDMA). The proposed procedure can be implemented in a variant of the IEEE 802.16 standard network for application in a "distributed satellite"
