Space Science and Technology

Aims & Scope

The Journal is intended for professionals in space science and technology, to those who uses space technologies for various applications, as well as for the foreign readers who want to get acquainted with the achievements of space-rocketindustry and space science of Ukraine.

The Journal became a worthy successor of the previous specialized journals, which were established by the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, such as the "Space Research in Ukraine" (1973-1984) and the "Space Science and Technique" (1986-1992).

In the course of twenty-six years of activity, the “Space Science and Technology” journal has gained wide recognition in Ukraine and abroad as well as has significantly provided space research in Ukraine.

Thanks to the efforts of the Editorial Board and Editorial Office, the 28 volumes (namely 139 issues and 19 supplements) had been published by the end of December 2022.

These issues contain more than 2080 articles, where 30 % of them were prepared with the participation of foreign authors.
