Zusammenfassung:— A mobile VLBI station prototype based on the mechanical part of the TESLA satellite communications system antenna has been created at the Svetloe observatory of the IAA. The main solutions are presented for transforming the satellite communications system antenna into the antenna of the VLBI radio telescope, which permanently change its spatial orientation in accordance with the principles of VLBI observations. The processes of installation and preparation for VLBI observations are described and the results of measurement of the main characteristics are reported.
