After lengthy negotiations, Russia and Ukraine have agreed to continue cooperation in the field of space exploration. Roskosmos will Pivdenmash to launch the first Ukrainian satellite, and the Ukrainian company to fulfill all obligations on service launch “Zenith” at Baikonur, in a joint program of the US and Russia on the survey of Mars. PiterBurger.ru reports.
Ukrainian Pivdenmash known for its products all over the world, besides its price is much lower than that of Western competitors, making it the absolute leader in the industry. Roscosmos since the days of the Soviet Union now works with Ukrainian, the stumbling block was the war in Donbas, and Russia indefinitely froze start to find a replacement Pivdenmash.
But the collaboration proved beneficial not only for Russia, Ukraine, stopped working with Russia – also lost the lion’s share of the market. The final blow was the launch of the satellite “Lybid”, which is ready to be put into orbit. If you do not use Russian resources Pivdenmash have to look for alternative companies that delay the launch of at least two years.
Perhaps a little to defuse the situation the extension of the agreement the United States and Russia to explore Mars. Ukraine has also agreed to continue cooperation, but prescribe clear limitations – Pivdenmash work with Roskosmos will be only in the direction of space.
The very same Russia, though pleased that “space companions “have decided to continue to work together – afraid of the executive Ukrainian Yuzhmash. Therefore advertise further cooperation to launch Ukrainian satellite “Lybid” and its participation in the program to explore Mars – while not in a hurry. Club informs industrial journalism.
More on further cooperation Yuzhmash and Roscosmos said on the video story Sergey Voight.
Original Commander.
