The problems of construction of a kinetic model of a medium 
(gas, plasma) based on the choice of the most important physicochemical 
processes are considered. The optimum kinetic mechanisms of a medium 
that describe the main nonequilibrium processes behind the shock- 
wave front are constructed with the example of the problem of propagation 
of a direct shock wave in the atmosphere of planets of the solar system. 
The investigations have been carried out using an automated system 
described earlier.
