Relativistic test experiment: Search for deviation of the one-way speed of light

Problem this idea/invention addresses:
The LISA - ESA project is looking for the missing link in gravity.
Quotation from ESA home web page:
However, the more scientists study gravity and its effects on celestial objects, the more mysteries they seem to uncover. One example is the so-called 'Pioneer anomaly', named after the NASA space probes Pioneer 10 and 11, on which the effect was first noticed. The anomaly was revealed when a number of spacecraft were seen to be affected by an unknown force that slowed them down. The same behavior has now been detected on NASA's Galileo and the joint ESA-NASA Ulysses spacecraft.
I theoretically proved that the Einsteinian and Newtonian gravity theories are precise, that there is no such acceleration of a spacecraft as the Pioneer anomaly. What probably does not work, is Einstein's Special Relativity Theory, particularly its postulate on the speed of light.
I submitted relativistic test experiment on "one-way speed of light" for Cosmic Vision 2015 project, which follows from my Complementary Special Relativity Theory, published in "The old and new concepts of physics, Volume 4, Number 4, December 2007", Versita. Since my country - Slovakia is not a member of ESA, the ESA manager for "Fundamental laws of physics" wants me to obtain a private fund for this experiment.

Description of idea/invention:
If the speed of light is an universal constant, as it is postulated in Einstein's Special Relativity Theory, then the space modification of the new experiment described in the paper above shows unequivocally that number of radio waves (emitted by a geostationary satellite in special condition) recorded by the radio receivers on the board of the International Space Station and on the board of a docking store-spaceship (Soyuz), respectively will be after joining of their antennas the same. In contrast, the predictions of the Complementary special relativity theory are for both of the receivers different. Prior to the space experiment it would be useful to make the laboratory experiment.

Use of funds:
The first part of desiderative fund would be used for the laboratory experiment ($ 30000) and second ($ 50000) for the space experiment, and would be addressed to:
