Abstract

Introduction. Based on the prospects for industrial manufacture activities in space, space industry is an important strategic resource for each country; therefore, the governments of advanced economies have been creating the necessary conditions for the dynamic development of their rocket and space industries.
The creation and manufacture of sophisticated high-tech equipment is impossible unless there is a well-developed regulatory framework, so the task of its development is urgent.
Problem Statement. The necessity of developing and improving a special regulatory and procedural framework for the rocket and space equipment (RSE) development is conditioned by specific features of RSE such as uniqueness, research and engineering complexity, operation of engineering systems in the outer space, unrepairability and long life cycle of such systems.
Purpose. The purpose of this research is to assess the status and to determine the principal directions of the priority improvement of the regulatory and procedural framework of RSE in Ukraine.
Materials and Methods. The research has been based on the materials on the current status and main directions of the development of the regulatory and procedural framework in the USA, France, Germany, Italy, and Russia. The current status of the regulatory and procedural framework for the space industry of Ukraine has been assessed by the method of analogies as a tool of the systems analysis.
Results. The status of the regulatory and procedural framework for rocket and space technology in Ukraine has been assessed.
Despite the shortcomings, the RSE regulatory framework in Ukraine may be considered adequate, unlike the procedural one that is unsatisfactory. The development and certification of many methods, the most important for improving the quality of project management for the creation of RSE samples, have been proposed as a priority step to improve the procedural
framework.

Conclusions. In the upcoming years, it is necessary to develop priority computerized industry techniques that allow the decision makers of Ukraine’s space industry to quickly and reasonably decide on the development of highly effective projects to create new models of RSE.
