   The time-of-flight mass analysers find broad application not only in earth, but also in space conditions.
   The designs of time-of-flight mass analysers for research of an element structure of gas streams, dust fragments and micrometeorites are described.
   The calculation of parameters of a mass analyser is based on definition of a distribution law of potentials. The description of methods of calculation of design data is adduced.
