Small Satellites Concept (Bordeaux 1985) Advantages: - Higher flight frequencies and shorter times in implementing new technological developments - Ideally lead-times should correspond with educational cycle of space science - For many countries, no other than "inexpensive" satellites conceivable for budgetary constraints. - Commonality between programs of such nations and those which have the possibility of sending man into space and explore planets.

First Deputy Director of the Institute of Law and Postgraduate Education of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine (Kyiv, Ukraine) E-mail: [email protected] https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2045-9631 Andrii Halunko2 Ph. D. in Law. Inspector of the public order department of the DPA HNPU in Kherson region (Kherson, Ukraine) E-mail: [email protected] https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1842-2506 In the article, the authors reveal the historical and legal aspects of space activities in Ukraine. The historical and legal acts of the Ukrainian SSR and the Soviet Union, regulating the space industry, are analyzed. Considerable attention was paid to the peculiarities of legal regulation of the activities of the main space design bureaus of the time. It is concluded that the space activities of the USSR — in general and the Ukrainian SSR were provided on the basis of sublegislative normative legal acts (resolutions of the Council of Ministers and orders of the Central bodies of the Communist party). However, the lack of the national space law was offset by systematic and full funding of space activities, resulting in the Soviet Union having a powerful space industry. In the conditions of modern development, Ukraine has all the opportunities to achieve significant development of the space industry, using the positive experience of the USSR and opening access to space activities of private investment. Keywords: space activities, law, space law, space technologies, private investments, Soviet regime, launch vehicles Received: September 11, 2019; accepted: October 07, 2019 Advanced Space Law, Volume 4, 2019: 116-124.

That’s science fiction.” –Eugene Cernan, Apollo 17 Astronaut, In the Shadow of the Moon 2 Introduction 3 On 25 January 2012, Republican presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich addressed an enthusiastic crowd of 700 people. He began by calling for the creation of a new “generation of courageous people,” who could “do something big, and bold, and heroic.” This new generation would have to study math and science, so that a “bigger and better future” could be built for the American people. To Gingrich, young minds could be inspired to pursue these careers by reinvigorating the American space program. In light of this, he declared that “by the end of my second term, we will have the first permanent base on the moon. And it will be American.” The announcement struck a chord with the crowd, which erupted into applause and gave Gingrich a standing ovation. Gingrich then continued, addressing some of his critics within the Republican presidential candidate race.

  • The Chelomei Alternative to Buran
    “LKS” The Chelomei alternative to Buran Giuseppe De Chiara 31 – 08 – 2012 All the drawings are copyright of the author Foreword In 1976 the Soviet government formally authorized the “head-designer” Valentin Glushko to proceed with the Buran project, intended as a mere Space Shuttle copy at that times in advanced development stage. The Buran project, and its massive launcher Energia (strongly supported by Glushko himself) were the targets of several critics among Russian space designers and scientists. One of them was the authored Vladimir Chelomei, a Glushko’s former alley, and also responsible of the famous OKB-52 (from which was sorted the Proton rocket, the TKS spacecraft and the Almaz and Salyut space stations). Chelomei affirmed that the Buran project was too big, heavy and expensive for the Russian possibilities of that times so he proposed, as alternative, a scaled down copy of the actual Space Shuttle, such spacecraft would be lighter and launched by one of his Proton rockets. The result of such idea was the LKS ( Легкий Космический Самолет – Light Spaceplane) project, proposed in 1979 as alternative to Buran/Energia. The LKS maintained all the main features of the original Shuttle/Buran project only scaled down, included a cargo bay with the possibility to carry a wide range of both military and civilian payloads to LEO. In 1980 Chelomei ordered the construction of a full scale mock-up that was realized by his team in only one month of full ahead work, as way to further stimulate Soviet authorities in his direction. In 1982 was officially ordered to stop Chelomei any further activity about the LKS project and was reprised to had expended more than 400.000 rubles in a program not formally authorized as the LKS was.

  • Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan Mikhail Marov
    Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan Mikhail Marov Geographical position Kyzylorda Province, Kazakhstan Location Latitude 45.9° N, longitude 63.3° E. Elevation 100m above mean sea level. General description Baikonur Cosmodrome has been the global base of operations for the Soviet, and subsequently the Russian, space programme. The first satellite, Sputnik, was launched from Baikonur, as was the first manned spacecraft in human history, Vostok 1, with Yuri Gagarin. So were several generations of cosmonauts, orbital stations, and lunar and planetary space missions. Introduction Science and technology heritage is a challenging new initiative involving numerous themes and issues, including specifically those relating to astronomical heritage and space exploration. We are keen to see solid progress towards understanding the principal concepts underlying such a complex topic. This, however, can only be accomplished by a gradual development of ideas. Baikonur’s inclusion in this volume is an attempt to undertake the first steps in this process, but it does not constitute a full case study. Science and innovation are regarded by UNESCO as key activities promoting sustainable development. Astronomical heritage is intrinsically related to the most important breakthroughs in space science and technology, and space exploration has established a new great milestone for human civilization. It is therefore essential to include space technology as an important category of technology heritage that has international significance in terms of humankind’s relationships with the sky. Following the international conference on ‘Astronomy and World Heritage: Across Time and Continents’ held in Kazan, Russia in August, 2009, it became a subject of further discussion and clarification, with an important step towards the goal being taken within the first ICOMOS–IAU Thematic Study (see DeVorkin 2010; Marov 2010).

  • The Soviet Space Programme Through Museums and Memoirs
    Asif A Siddiqi Privatising memory: the Soviet space programme through museums and memoirs Introduction In the years after Sputnik, Soviet museums dedicated to space exploration played an important role as 'custodians' of space history. Artefacts in museums presented and helped to create a unifying 'consensus narrative' that fostered a shared sense of identity among both participants and observers of the space programme, an identity that underpinned the myth of a Soviet space effort whose engine was heroism, ingenuity and, most of all, priority.l Their claims were buttressed by a huge body of literature issued by 'official' journalists who extolled the virtues of the Soviet space programme. The state­ sanctioned histories served as supporting texts for the museums, where carefully-selected artefacts, usually spacecraft that had achieved certain 'firsts' in the early history of space exploration, were displayed and celebrated as monuments to Soviet technocracy. (For a discussion of Soviet space museums and Soviet exhibitions at World's Fairs, see Cathleen Lewis's essay in this volume.) Three elements defined the memorialisation of Soviet space history during the late Soviet era, i.e. from the 1960s to the late 1980s. First, writers and curators eliminated contingency from the story: all successes were assumed to be inevitable and the idea of failure was made invisible. Second, under pressure from censors, writers and curators constructed a space of 'limited Visibility' for both actors and artefacts, i.e. only a few selected persons - usually cosmonauts - and objects were displayed to the public. Military domination of the Soviet space programme engendered a culture of enveloping secrecy over most of its participants, institutions and artefacts.

Abstract This study examines narratives about space exploration officially produced by government agencies of the Soviet Union and the United States between 1957 and 1977. It compares how space activities from the first Soviet Sputnik on October 4, 1957, to the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project (ASTP) in July 1975 were covered in two monthly magazines: the American-made Russian-language Amerika Illiustrirovannoye (America Illustrated, hereafter Amerika) and the Soviet-produced English-language Soviet Life.
