Kiev announced plans to build an offshore platform for space launches

Ukraine decided to become a space power, having not only a ground-based cosmodrome, but also a floating one. Volodymyr Taftai, head of the Space Agency of Ukraine, spoke about plans to build an offshore platform for launching launch vehicles.

Ukraine plans to build an offshore platform for space launches as part of the space program until 2025. It is assumed that this platform, for the construction of which it is planned to allocate 172 million dollars (4,8 billion hryvnias), will allow space launches from the waters of the Indian and Atlantic oceans.

For skeptics who doubt the possibility of building a floating spaceport for such an amount, Taftai explained that the construction will be carried out at Ukrainian enterprises and using Ukrainian technologies, and therefore will be inexpensive.

Within the framework of these five years, all this should be implemented in metal and will work as a complex. (...) this project will be interesting from the point of view of launching satellites into orbit (...) both for space system operators and for (...) customers

- he said.

The details of the construction of a floating spaceport are still unknown, a little more information about the ground-based spaceport, which is being built in Canada. Well, as it is being built, the first stone was laid there at the site of future construction, and that's all for now. Apparently, the Canadians are waiting for Ukraine to present the Cyclone-4 rocket, for which a site will be built, and in Kiev they are waiting for a cosmodrome, since there are no funds to build a rocket without a cosmodrome. And then there’s also the need to build a floating spaceport, there’s no time for a rocket.

As you can see, Kiev has plenty of plans to join the ranks of space powers, but today the only achievement is the launch of the Sich-2-30 satellite into orbit, although for some reason it does not want to leave the "energy-saving mode."

Oh my! What about the satellite? Space power, yok mokarek!

[Nexcom]

They will continue to create a constellation of satellites in power saving mode.

[GUARD]

Sleeping constellation of satellites?

[Nexcom]

Wow, I didn't come up with those explanations...
Yes, there will be a very sleeping group ....

[antivirus]

be ashamed.
bullshit announced in a veiled way who will be the first to capture Jupiter in 2070.


... and will be transferred for US debts. if those in 70 do not fall apart yet ... although maybe California will accept the rights and debts of the Washington Regional Committee

[VSO-396]

Very clever, antivirus! Do you write fantasy too?

I wonder if the dying Velikoukria still has projects for cutting?

Sleeping constellation of satellites?

Yes, here some already have a constellation of satellites "covered in one place":
The American private aerospace company SpaceX will lose about 40 of the 49 Starlink Internet satellites launched into orbit on February 3 as a result of a geomagnetic storm. This was reported on the company's website.

“Unfortunately, the satellites deployed on [last] Thursday were badly damaged by the geomagnetic storm on Friday <...>.

40 new out of 2000 active, insignificant loss.

[Tochilka]

and then BAM! and the Dyson Sphere is ready! Come admire

Tochilka-Dyson sphere will come out square with them, and admiring the yellow-bvakit hack is for the US Congress

That they were already going to build, and they dug the sea on the Moon, and spaceships stormed Space, and built cruisers, AN - "Bandera" was lifted into the air, and everything turned out in reality, so the Hammer mortar was bungled, and a trench along the border between Russia and Ukraine to dig. "Forward our brave weevils!!!" On May 18, 1996, at 21.30:XNUMX pm, the Weevils first appeared on the screen and "walked feet first into the future of immortality."

plus a solar-powered spaceport and a wind turbine.

The satellite flies upside down. The cause of the problem was the complete translation of documentation and software from Russian into Ukrainian.

[Nexcom]

It was necessary to correctly place the drawing on the wall before assembling the satellite.

"What nafik well with a searchlight at the bottom ??? (turns the drawing over) A lighthouse is a fucking lighthouse!" (c) from one joke

[Anarchist]

The most interesting thing is that although this position of the satellite allows it to sometimes charge batteries, it was supposed to follow (according to legend) our grouping of troops. But now he is staring blankly into space.
Maybe afraid that Muscovites from outer space will attack?

That's it - to build. Mastering funds and building are two different things.

what "field of activity" is planned ... someone get rich again.

Ukraine decided to become a space power

to solve it does not mean to be able!

In the word "cosmic" the first "s" is clearly superfluous.

So they don’t know the Russian language ... they canceled it ... everyone speaks Khokhlyatsky, so they blurt out mistakes ....

The case of Yatsenyuk's fence, lives and triumphs? You still need to saw the spaceport to the heap.

[Amateur]

The case of Yatsenyuk's fence, lives and triumphs

We laugh at the canopy-rabbit, and he cut down a lot of money on this fence, lives in a resort and spit on everyone from his fence.

[prior]

It is necessary to throw another idea to the non-brothers - about building a space fence against impudent Russian satellites. This is how many hryvnias you can cut, Seine Rabbit never dreamed of.

[Thrifty]

So a new "space superpower" has been drawn - Musk is resting! There are a lot of plans, there are little things left - money, yes more, and so it’s business to start and finish

[Nexcom]

What are you, what kind of Musk is there. He will take a turn for launches to them.

[Vladimir Vladimirovich Vorontsov]

...construction will be carried out at Ukrainian enterprises and using Ukrainian technologies, That's why And it will be cheap...

Funny joke...

[Nexcom]

Ukrainian technologies are already a joke.

[kpd]

But what about the famous Ukrainian mortar Hammer? Not only are his enemies afraid of him, they are even afraid of his own.

[Nexcom]

Exactly. So far, it turns out that at least one technology, but they have created - self-cutting.

[good]

Ey, let's just say it is not rotting yet, but is idle, Soyuz 5 is also being prepared for it.
No, the rockets and infrastructure on earth are not yet ready, but what the competitors didn’t get is already good, even if it rots.
In order to launch the space program, one platform is clearly not enough, only Musk came up with mass commercial launches by throwing on starlink repeaters, except for them there is nothing to throw into orbit in such quantities, serious and even simple satellites are still expensive. There is no competition for commercial launches and is not expected.

[Crimean partisan 1974]

idle,

...that's it. idle ... the hell of a radish is not sweeter ... and when they rush to exploit it, it starts .. it leaked, it shorted there, there was a light fireman and it went and went with eliminations ... but it’s better to let the East rot easier to bring to mind and plus in the Crimea you can make a couple of launch pads ... the weather is mild, you can comfortably work all year round, as was the case with the Crystal Bridge and Tauris

[Emergency]

Definitely, the whole tower is sick! Or is it their hobby, to make the world laugh?

Who told there? another goof? Tada is understandable ... what else to stimulate the skakuas, if not with a great cosmic victory?

[mag nit]

Well, it is necessary to launch "Lybidya".

[Alexander X]

New Vasyuki-2...

[Amateur]

It remains to hold an intergalactic chess tournament in Dikanka, which will be renamed New Bandera, and then FortNox with gold will be transported to the caves under Kuiv, the FRS, along with a photocopier for printing green wrappers, to Lemberg, and NATO headquarters directly to Odessa (for one thing, the capital of Israel will be transferred there )

Ukraine plans to build an offshore platform for space launches

It remains only as they promised for many years to "fill up Europe with agricultural products", create social conditions that will be envied in Russia, create their own "newest tank", become a member of the EU and NATO, and of course finally defeat Russia in a "protracted war" with her. And I can't wait to ask about the satellite launched with the help of someone else's carrier. Did you finally decide to get in touch or did you decide to migrate to the expanses of the universe away from Nenka?

[evgen1221]

It remains to wish for the underwater and underground for the kit, and the space bonus.

[Borisych]

Only in space. Gather roguli and launch into space. Let them fly. Then they will burn like space debris.

[GAndr]

I'm wondering when it will be possible to freely talk about the fact that almost 80% of the Death Star has already been built near Zhmerinka? Oh, I'm sorry I gave out top-secret information.

[uav80]

Taftai explained that the construction will be carried out at Ukrainian enterprises and according to Ukrainian technologies, and therefore it will be inexpensive.

when it was so that made in Ukraine, and even using Ukrainian technologies, was cheaper, or they simply cover the project by 2025 by sawing half the dough, or there will be another eternal long-term construction like the corvette Vladimir the Great

[Andrei Nikolaevich]

They both "fight" and fly into space.)

[Kerensky]

It is assumed that this platform, for the construction of which it is planned to allocate 172 million dollars (4,8 billion hryvnias), will allow space launches from the waters of the Indian and Atlantic oceans.

What a social cosmodrome is coming out ... on a budget like that. And how will he get to these waters?

[sash-sash]

It is a quite possible project, some shipbuilding is left, Ukraine may well make missiles. Don't want what would happen "for them"? And why, exactly? These are jobs, and the development of production and science. In principle, someday a joint Russian-Ukrainian sea launch program is possible. Inexpensive, efficient.
Let everything work out!

[abc_alex]

Perfect manilovism.
Ukrainian shipbuilding is good at making a boat. Maximum river tanker. Sea vessels have not been made in Ukraine since the times of the USSR. And they are unlikely to do it: the Nikolaev ship center is actually liquidated.
And let me remind you that even for the Sea Launch project, a Norwegian production platform was taken. Even in the early 90s, Ukraine did not undertake to create a launch platform from scratch on its own. And then those who made aircraft carriers were still working in Nikolaev. This time".
And "two".
Ukraine does not have a rocket. The Zenith project is impossible without the restoration of integration with Russia. Replacing the engine in it means making a new rocket. This is not done in a year or two. And without a mass order, this is generally impossible. Let me remind you that Zenith is not an independent project, it is an upper stage of the Energia heavy system. That is, even the USSR did not make it as an independent product in its class. The profitability of the project at the initial stage for Ukraine was due to the fact that it did not bear the costs of its initial development, but received the project ready.
That is, there is no ship and no opportunity to build, no rocket and no opportunity to build. And it's not because they can't. Competencies can also be gained. The economy won't allow it.

Well, three. Payload. To enter the commercial launch market, you must either have a history of trouble-free launches or be from the United States. It is the US people who can use the media press to create a "picture" with any content and hammer it into the customer's head by force. And how will Ukrainians attract a client?

[Andrei Nikolaevich]

What will be launched? Pigs into space?) Clowns...)

So the West does not have enough money for the Ukrainian cut.

[Prisoner]

"Ukraine has decided to become a space power, having not only a ground-based cosmodrome, but also a floating cosmodrome ..." (c) What kind of cosmodromes does Ukraine not have?! And it has no ground, and no underground. Now it will not have floating ones either. Let Muscovites burst with envy.

[Sands Careers General]

You give the Ukrainian space program

[Alber alber]

Small as it is, why not immediately base on Mars in the form of a trident?

[Militia]

There are vague doubts, and the space pseudotype state of Ukraine will exist until 2025? And where did the Selyuks get the technology for building space floating platforms? The pots have been removed recently.

[DrMad]

I’m planning the same thing on a round-the-world trip on Abramovich’s yacht, but that’s not the task ...
