In the article, the authors reveal the historical and legal aspects of space activities in Ukraine. The
historical and legal acts of the Ukrainian SSR and the Soviet Union, regulating the space industry, are
analyzed. Considerable attention was paid to the peculiarities of legal regulation of the activities of the
main space design bureaus of the time. It is concluded that the space activities of the USSR — in general
and the Ukrainian SSR were provided on the basis of sublegislative normative legal acts (resolutions of
the Council of Ministers and orders of the Central bodies of the Communist party). However, the lack of
the national space law was oset by systematic and full funding of space activities, resulting in the Soviet
Union having a powerful space industry. In the conditions of modern development, Ukraine has all the
opportunities to achieve signicant development of the space industry, using the positive experience of
the USSR and opening access to space activities of private investment.
