The article presents the implementation of a special module for calculating the intervals of translucence of Venus atmosphere and determining the communication windows between two spacecraft. The expediency is investigated of using the navigation-auxiliary software and computer complex SPICE NAIF. Technical aspects of the software module implementation in the Python programming language are considered. The software implementation module is compared using the navigation-auxiliary software and computer complex SPICE NAIF and without using it. A comparative analysis is made of the software that implements the calculation of intervals of translucence of Venus atmosphere. The effectiveness has been proved of the use of the navigation and auxiliary software and computer complex SPICE NAIF in solving applied ballistics tasks requiring the use of computer technology.
