Abstract: The work is devoted to the development of a low-cost technology for transporting goods from Earth to the Moon, to other space objects and in the opposite direction. The subject of the study is the technology of delivering various categories of cargo to the moon, the technology of exporting cargo from the lunar base to the near-moon orbital station and the near-earth orbital station, technologies for transferring cargoes from low-earth orbit to highly elliptical, technologies for exporting cargoes from the Earth to space objects of artificial and natural origin. The work aims to determine the conditions for eliminating unnecessary operations and following expenses and designing on this basis low-cost transportation methods that correspond to the achieved level of development of technology and science. The research showed: (1) delivery of certain categories of cargo to the Moon with technology «Moontrap» reduces the shipping cost by 80 percent; (2) the use the technology of export of lunar raw materials called «Sattrap» reduces by 80 percent the transportation costs for the creation of the "lunar base-lunar orbital station"; (3) the use of «Sattrap» technology in the near-Earth space reduces by 2-3 times the cost of delivering goods from a satellite in low orbit to the fuel filling station on a highly elliptical orbit.
