Abstract
New results of modeling the operation of the new Cherenkov telescope SPHERE-3 have been presented. The telescope will be able to detect cosmic particles simultaneously using the direct and reflected Cherenkov light of an extensive air shower. In the case of double detection, the accuracy of determining the parameters of the primary particle increases. The study has been carried out using the database of distributions of Cherenkov light from extensive air showers obtained on the Lomonosov-2 supercomputer. The accuracy of determining the energy and type of the primary particle from the reflected and direct flows of Cherenkov light has been estimated.
