General ideas about the structure of atoms are presented based on systems theory. By analogy with models of models taken from space systems, fundamentally new ideas about the structure of atoms and their structure are created. The presence of two hydrogen atoms, the possible existence of binuclear atoms, the absence of a planetary shell and the location of orbits on the same plane are substantiated. It is assumed that some atoms have electrons with minisatellites. The uselessness of colliders in studying the structure of atoms is substantiated.
