The coordinate asymptotic behavior of the wavefunction for the scattering of three particles with the Coulomb interaction is constructed. The representation of hyperspherical functions is used to reduce the Schrödinger equation to a system of partial wave one-dimensional equations. Asymptotic solutions of this system of equations are constructed by direct asymptotic methods.
