The head of state, Volodymyr Zelensky, ordered to launch the Ukrainian satellite Sich 2-30 (2-1) into space in a year. The President gave such an assignment to the 30th anniversary of Ukraine, said Minister for Strategic Industries Oleg Urusky on his Facebook page.
He said that he held a meeting with representatives of the satellite services industry, at which he asked to speed up the implementation of the president’s assignment to launch the Sich 2-30 remote sensing spacecraft into low-Earth orbit.
“We must take all the necessary measures for this to happen before the end of 2021, the year of the 30th anniversary of Ukraine’s Independence. And this is quite realistic, provided that we work as efficiently as possible and is an urgent need,” Urusky said.
The minister stressed that the launching of the satellite will help not only in the development of the economy and the work of law enforcement agencies but also allow saving money that is now being spent on the purchase of satellite services abroad.
