This paper studies the influence of the electromagnetic field of outer space on spacecraft. Analytical dependences are obtained for the energy emitted by a satellite taking into account the direction of propagation of Alfvén waves. It is postulated that the linear term in the energy equation affects the induction for an arbitrary law of current distribution in a satellite in an electromagnetic field. It is proved that, when a satellite moves at medium altitudes, the current distribution in the magnetospheric plasma can be satisfactorily approximated by segments of straight lines with a maximum at the point of zero potential, while the induced components of the magnetic field can be determined by integration. The induced component of the magnetic field is determined. It is noted that, in the absence of energy dissipation, the total radiation energy is expressed as the product of the satellite speed and inductive resistance.
