Abstract

The article reveals historical, legal and organizational aspects of the creation and implementation of space programs in Ukraine. It is determined that the current system of approval of state space programs in the form of law is appropriate. The article convincingly proves the fact that the effective execution of all, without exception, space programs in Ukraine is rather low. One of the reasons for that attributes to the existing pattern of public’s administration of the space industry in Ukraine. This model does not comply with modern requirements whatsoever. It is concluded that given the prospects for the development of the defense segment of the rocket and space industry in Ukraine, the use of networkcentric management can be an effective way to develop the modern rocket and space industry of Ukraine. It could be done because Ukraine has retained a solid potential for space industry design and certain technological capabilities. The article makes an emphasis on the necessity of providing a transparent selection of executors for state-funded space programs based upon an announced tender for Ukrainian and European space companies.

Keywords: state funded space program, public’s administration, Ukraine, satellite, spaceship tender, private space companies, network, and centric management.
