The numerical simulation of the HD 63433 system is performed with the aim to study upper atmospheres of two mini-Neptunes, planets b and c, interacting with the stellar wind of the parent star. The obtained results demonstrate that both exoplanets form the extended envelopes with strong supersonic outflows. The synthetic absorption profiles in the Ly α line show that under moderate stellar wind conditions, similar to those of the normal solar wind, the energetic neutral atoms contribute to the absorption in the high-velocity blue wing of the line at a level of tens per cent. The absorption in metastable helium He I(2³S) line appears rather weak and below the detection limit by current instruments. An important feature revealed by the simulations is that the tail of escaping atmospheric material of the inner planet disturbs the stellar wind at orbital location of the outer planet and might, therefore, affect its observation in Ly α line.
