Abstract: 
We present our results of calculations of the cost characteristics for the injection of a special low-orbit debris collector space vehicle into a wanted orbit in relation to a variant of the orbital injection maneuver. An comparative estimate of the characteristics are made. As the criterion for the estimate, we consider the optimum costs for the orbital injection of a mass unit of this vehicle and a unit of its payload which are calculated for a number of the most powerful carrier rockets which can be used for solving the given space problem 
Keywords: optimum costs, orbital injection maneuver, payloads
