DOMESTIC SPACE LAW - UKRAINE EXAMPLE.

As a result of Ukraine's independence and its proclamation as a law-governed state, it became necessary to regulate the scientific, technical and production potential of the space industry formed during the time of the Soviet Union under the rules of Ukraine law. Therefore, the Supreme Council of the Ukraine Parliament, Verkhovna Rada, adopted the Law "On Space Activities" No. 502/96-VR on November 15 1996, and this remains in force today. Since 1993, Ukraine space activity implementation has been based on the following National Space Programs; the First Program (1993-1997), the Second Program (1998-2002), the Third Program (2003-2007) and the Ukraine National Target Scientific and Technical Space Program (2008-2012). The current Concept of Implementation of the State Policy in the Field of Space Activity up to 2032 was approved by Order of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 238-r dated March 30, 2011. Each of these programs was intended to solve the urgent problems of preservation and development of the state's space potential. Therefore, in authors opinion it is necessary to bring the Ukraine space law Act closer to the reader. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
