Ukraine plans to launch the its latest remote sensing satellite, Sich 2-30, into Earth orbit by the end of this year, Strategic Industries Minister Oleh Urusky told a recent meeting of spacecraft developers and customers of satellite services. Built by Yuzmash, the first satellite of the Sich family was placed into orbit in 2004 from a rocket launched from Russia. Urusky did not say what company or country would handle the launching. Reporting on the satellite plan, China’s news agency Xinhua noted that Ukraine’s Cabinet of Ministers approved last month a 5-year, $1 billion space program.
