We are happy to introduce you the only engineering University in Ukraine that provides a full cycle of higher education in the field of aerospace science. The KhAI is proud of its old traditions in the training of high-qualified specialists. The University has numerous well-known Scientific Schools, which are recognised far beyond the Ukrainian borders thanks to successful collaborative projects with key aerospace design bureaus and industrial enterprises worldwide. Also, we are obliged to the thousands of KhAI’s alumni who maintain the high reputation of the Alma Mater and make valuable contribution to the global aerospace industry development. I hope our collaboration to be fruitful and mutually beneficial and I also expect it will support the scientific and technical progress in our countries. Rector of the University Professor Volodymyr Kryvtsov Welcome from the Vice-Rector on Science Welcome to this overview of research at the National Aerospace University “KhAI” that describes our recent achievements in numerous research areas and informs of diverse collaborative opportunities offered by the University. Ever since its establishment in 1930, in the very middle of Aviation’s Golden Age, KhAI has been playing an important role in aeronautics and space science development. KhAI’s role became fundamental through the persistent generation of new knowledge and their immediate transformation into advanced products and technologies relevant to the current market demands. We have a strong international reputation in various research areas ranging from the aerodynamics and material science basic research to the advanced space thrusters and communication systems development. We pay high attention to the maintenance and facilitation of our vibrant research community. We offer a broad opportunities for our post graduate students and research fellows, provide them with a wide access to the University research facilities and support their involvement in multinational collaborative research teams. Furthermore, we also encourage our research and academic staff to share their advanced knowledge with today’s students to secure the next generation of talented young scientists and engineers. We hope this brochure provides you with a good insight into the research activities at KhAI and offers a good starting point for prospective collaborators from both national and international academic entities, research institutions and commercial organizations.

  • Space Industry
    Spring 2013 Industry Study Final Report Space Industry Dwight D. Eisenhower School for National Security and Resource Strategy National Defense University Fort McNair, Washington, D.C. 20319-5062 ii i 1 SPACE 2013 ABSTRACT: Today’s U.S. national security space systems enable vital functions such as strategic warning, global command and control, intelligence, and communications while also touching nearly every aspect of modern life - from personal navigation systems to receiving near real-time information from across the globe. However, American space power is not guaranteed – particularly as the nation enters an era of fiscal austerity and conflicting budget priorities. Significant challenges that must be addressed include limited federal funds, rising costs, and a fragile supply chain. Additionally, as the U.S. rebalances strategic focus to the Asia-Pacific, limited regional satellite communication capacity and potential vulnerabilities to U.S. space systems also pose a threat. To mitigate these challenges, this study recommends the U.S. Department of Defense implement a policy of selective disaggregation to improve space system resiliency and maintain a steady funding profile for national security satellites. However, such a strategy is not without costs: hoped for increases in national security space program affordability will likely not materialize over the long-term as savings realized in satellite manufacturing will simply shift cost and complexity to the ground equipment and launch segments.

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.

  • Early Soviet Satellite Magnetic Field Measurements from 1964 and 1970
    Early Soviet satellite magnetic field measurements from 1964 and 1970 Roman Krasnoperov1, Dmitry Peregoudov1, Renata Lukianova1, Anatoly Soloviev1 and Boris Dzeboev1 1Geophysical Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, 119296, Russia 5 Correspondence to: Dmitry Peregoudov ([email protected]) Abstract. We present the collection of magnetic field absolute measurements performed by early Soviet magnetic satellite missions Kosmos-49 (1964) and Kosmos-321 (1970). A total of 17300 measured values are available for Kosmos-49 mission, covering homogeneously 75% of the Earth's surface between 49° north and south latitude. About 5000 measured values are available for Kosmos-321 mission, covering homogeneously 94% of the Earth's surface between 71° north and 10 south latitude. The data are available at PANGAEA (Krasnoperov et al., 2020, https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.907927). 1 Introduction Since 1954, the Soviet Union was an active participant in the preparation of the International Geophysical Year (IGY), organized in 1957–1958. Right from the beginning, the program of this unprecedent international scientific event included 15 the launch of an artificial satellite with a payload for conducting geophysical experiments on the Earth’s orbit. The first Soviet missiles of the 1950-s allowed to perform solely suborbital flights. And only by 1957, the R-7 ballistic missile, capable of launching an object into a circular orbit, had been developed. The first Soviet spacecraft, widely known as Sputnik-1, was launched on 04.10.1957. Its payload consisted only of two radio transmitters that continuously emitted signals on two frequencies. Receiving signals on different frequencies allowed the analysis of the radiowave propagation in 20 the ionosphere.

    Space Security 2004 Space “I know of no similar yearly baseline of what is happening in space. The Index is a valuable tool for informing much-needed global discussions of how best to achieve space security.” Professor John M. Logsdon Director, Space Policy Institute, Elliott School of International Affair, George Washington University “Space Security 2004 is a salutary reminder of how dependent the world has become on space- based systems for both commercial and military use. The overcrowding of both orbits and frequencies needs international co-operation, but the book highlights some worrying security trends. We cannot leave control of space to any one nation, and international policy makers need to read this excellent survey to understand the dangers.” Air Marshal Lord Garden UK Liberal Democrat Defence Spokesman & Former UK Assistant Chief of the Defence Staff Space Security “Satellites are critical for national security. Space Security 2004 is a comprehensive analysis of the activities of space powers and how they are perceived to affect the security of these important assets and their environment. While all may not agree with these perceptions it is 2004 essential that space professionals and political leaders understand them. This is an important contribution towards that goal.” Brigadier General Simon P. Worden, United States Air Force (Ret.) Research Professor of Astronomy, Planetary Sciences and Optical Sciences, University of Arizona “In a single source, this publication provides a comprehensive view of the latest developments in space, and the trends that are influencing space security policies.
