The article presents an analysis of existing developments and projects of gravitational-wave antennas. Their advantages and disadvantages are noted. The concept of the development of the Russian space detector of gravitational waves “SOIGA” in the orbits of GLONASS — “SOIGA-2” is proposed. The “SOIGA-2” project proposes the use of three orbits in four spacecraft. This will increase the sensitivity of the antenna and the accuracy of determining the location of the source of gravitational waves. The aim of the “SOIGA-2” project is to detect gravitational waves in the frequency range from 0.01 to 10 Hz. The article describes the sources of such gravitational waves and their removal from the detector. The requirements for the main elements of the detector are formed.

Key words: gravitational wave antennas, space detector, gravitational waves, satellites, GLONASS orbits.
