The article provides a method for calculating the costs when designing a promising embodiment of a low-bit satellite system. For Ukraine, the prospects for this option lies in the fact that their own means of achieving a large number of satellites in orbit are applied. At the same time, satellites are multifunctional and used to organize communication and broadcasting, the sounding of the atmosphere and the surface of the Earth, subsurface locations, cosmic observation, data collection from the Internet sensors. The space group consists of mini, macro-, nanosterans, which are delivered to the orbit of a domestic rocket carrier into orbit. The technical and economic efficiency of the satellite system lies not only in the above advantages, but also in its hierarchical construction - combination of the root satellite, ministerial repeater, macrovers. The article provides an analysis of other low-bit satellite systems. A feature of the study of the combined LEO is the fact that the proposed construction of the satellite system allows the use of technological distributed registries as one of the through digital technologies. In digital transformation of the economy, the technology of distributed registers plays the same role as Internet things, cloud computing, 5G and Big Data technologies. The method of calculating the presented costs is to calculate the cost of the development, production and operation of the system at the stage of its design. The costs of developing space and ground segments are included in the total capital costs. The costs of developing a space segment are highlighted on the cost of developing a root satellite, a minivan-repeater, microscope. The same approach is also laid for the cost of exploitation of the space segment. When calculating the costs of the ground segment as the main component of earth stations, antenna systems, radio transmission microwaves and radio receiving microwaves, information processing devices, terminal equipment are taken as the main components of earth stations. The approximate cost of serial production of root sieuine, mini satellite, retrograder, microsatellite is indicated. The estimated cost of one minute of access in the studied combined LEO and in the existing "close" to the appointment of a low-bit satellite system is given.
