Russian gravitational wave antenna SOIGA-2 is a cluster including four spacecrafts in each of GLONASS orbits located at the vertices of a square. An analysis of disturbing forces applied to the spacecraft SOIGA-2 is performed. An estimate of values of the gravitational and non-gravitational disturbing accelerations is presented. The allowable level of disturbing accelerations for detection of gravitational waves are listed. A method for compensation of non-gravitational forces using a drag-free satellite system is proposed as well as preliminary calculation of the forces of gravitational nature and their subsequent subtraction.
