The article reveals the place and role of multinational corporations in the world market for space services and technologies. The authors highlight trends in globalization and cosmization of the world economy, which have both positive and negative effects. The advantage of the private sector’s entry into space exploration is the recognition of high-tech companies contributing to economic growth as worthy of investment. The practice of transnational companies to affect the economic and legal sphere of the countries of their presence and violate the fundamental rights of its citizens is outlined as a negative trend. Theoretically, probable variants of the regulatory framework for the world market for space services and technologies with transnational corporations’ participation are projected. It is proposed to create a global administrator in space activities — the World Space Union.

The article's relevance is justified by the need to study the current state of organizational and legal support for the use of space information and technology in Ukraine's military activities to identify prospects for its improvement, including through the adaptation of NATO experience. The implementation of scientific research is ensured by the combined use of methodological tools, among which the leading role was played by general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis, deduction and induction, which provided an opportunity to identify general and specific features of the research. The main methods were forecasting and legal modeling, which helped to identify trends in the development of organizational and legal support for the use of space information and technology in the military activities of Ukraine. The study revealed that Ukraine has significant prospects for developing an organizational and legal framework for using space information and technology in military activities. It is crucial to support and adapt the experience of the troops (forces) of the Armed Forces of NATO member states, which for decades have demonstrated a systematic, balanced and clear approach to the tasks of the supranational level of security. A number of optimization vectors for developing organizational and legal support for using space information and technology in the military activities of Ukraine at both regulatory and institutional levels are proposed.

The article analyses the modern and retrospective international and national regulations in the field of space activities. It is emphasized that the long-term program of space research proves the maturity and competence that we have yet to demonstrate. The development of such a program (rather, doctrine) is beyond the preparation of a formal document. The challenges we have outlined are about the role of the space doctrine in the system of conceptual documents defining the areas of the space sector's sustainable development. In the study, the dialectical materialist method of in the cognition of the objective reality enables to analyze of comprehensively doctrinal provisions in developing the concept "Space doctrine." The empirical research was based on the statistical and analytical materials: World Trade Organization Annual Report 2019, the Roscosmos State Corporation for Space Activities for 2018, Aeronautics and Space Report of the President -- Fiscal Year 2019 Activities, the statistical data and reports of the State Space Agency of Ukraine (SSAU) for 1997-2020. The study leads to a number of conclusions. The implementation of the future Space doctrine should be a shift from the initial state of affairs to the new model of space activities and the sustainable development of the space industry. The study reveals three levels of Space doctrine: basic, strategic, and tactical (operational). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
