Abstract—The article presents the prognostic capabilities of the SOCOL global climate model. A correction of the trajectory is proposed by supplementing the algorithms of the nominal control of the return vehicle with the atmospheric parameters at altitudes of 40–80 km obtained as a result of prognostic calculations.

Keywords: return vehicle, descent control efficiency, prognostic modeling, sudden stratospheric warming
