Russia has not only managed to preserve cooperation with Ukraine in the space sector but also intends to boost it, deputy chief of the Russian Space Agency Nickolay Moiseyev told Ukrinform at a press conference on international cooperation in the space sector in Moscow.
According to Nickolay Moiseyev, Ukrainian companies are full-fledged members of preparations for and launching of spaceships, as they are responsible for provision of important components, lack of which makes flight impossible.
According to Moiseyev, the parties are holding consultations on establishing an authority, which will unite all Russian and Ukrainian space companies. In his opinion, Russian-Ukrainian cooperation should work toward placing spacecraft on orbits and development of new generation satellites.
