Ukraine and Poland will discuss bilateral cooperation in the space sector
during the first meeting of the ad hoc working group of the intergovernmental
Ukrainian-Polish commission on economic cooperation on February 8-9 in Kyiv.
The meeting will be chaired by Ukrainian State Space Agency chief Liubomyr
Sabadosh and Polish Space Agency (POLSA) head Marek Banaszkiewicz, the press
service of the State Space Agency of Ukraine told to Interfax-Ukraine on
Monday. The parties will discuss partnership plans with respect to joint
production of a small-lift carrier rocket, space research, as well as a
creation of a space center in Lviv.
The Polish delegation is to visit the leading Ukrainian space sector
enterprises, namely, the state-run Pivdenne Design Bureau and Pivdenmash
Mashine Building Plant (Dnipropetrovsk).
Poland joined the European Space Agency (ESA) in September 2012. The Polish
Sejm endorsed the POLSA establishment in summer 2014.
Ukraine's Cabinet of Ministers and ESA signed an intergovernmental
agreement on cooperation in the use of outer space for peaceful purposes in
January 2008. In early 2014 the agreement was extended until 2019.
The ESA is comprised of 17 European states.
