This paper examines options for orbit configurations for a space interferometer. In contrast to previously presented concepts for space very long baseline interferometry, we propose a combination of regular and retrograde near-Earth circular orbits in order to achieve a faster filling of (u,v) coverage. With the rapid relative motion of the telescopes, it will be possible to quickly obtain high quality images of supermassive black holes. As a result of such an approach, it will be possible for the first time to conduct high quality studies of the supermassive black hole close surroundings in dynamics.
