2.- Objectives 2.1- Overall objective: The general objective is to accelerate the approximation between Ukraine and the European Union in the area of space and to enhance legal, scientific, and industrial cooperation and development. 2.2- Project purpose: The purpose of this twinning project is to support Ukraine for its participation into the European Research Area and European Space programmes, the development of its research and technological capabilities in the service of the economy and the society, and the approximation of its legislation and standards to those of EU. 2.3- Contribution to the National Development Plan (PCA) and the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) Action Plan: This twinning project will contribute to fulfil the objectives of the Partnership and Cooperation Agreement between the European Community and Ukraine and especially the aims and activities foreseen in the following articles: Article 51: “the approximation of Ukraine's existing and future legislation to that of the

Community including in the field of intellectual property”. Article 52: “the co-operation will concentrate on industrial co-operation, science and

technology, and space”. Article 53: “the development of business links between economic operators of both sides,

e.g. in view of the transfer of technologies and know-how”, “Community participation in Ukraine's efforts to restructure and technically upgrade its industry”, “the improvement of management”.

Article 56: “Co-operation in the field of standards”, “to promote appropriate co-operation with organizations and institutions specialised in these fields” and “to promote the use of Community technical regulations and the application of European standards and conformity assessment procedures”.

Article 58: “Co-operation in science and technology”; “The Parties shall promote co-operation in civil scientific research and technological development (RTD) on the basis of mutual benefit and, taking into account the availability of resources, adequate access to their respective programmes and subject to appropriate levels of effective protection of intellectual, industrial and commercial property rights (IPR)”.

Article 65: in the part on economic cooperation, “Space” is the specific subject of this article which states “Bearing in mind the respective competences of the Community, its Member

5

States and the European Space Agency the Parties shall promote, where appropriate, long term co-operation in the areas of civil space research, development and commercial applications. The Parties will pay particular attention to initiatives making full use of the complementarity of their respective space activities.”

The overall goal of ENP is to foster the political and economic reform process, promote closer economic integration, legal and technical approximation and sustainable development. In the ENP process, Ukraine is one of the priority countries. The twinning in the space sector in Ukraine will also help to fulfil the priorities of ENP Action Plan of February 2005 which comprises the following: Gradual approximation of Ukrainian legislation, norms and standards with those of the European

Union and also item 17 of the action plan. Continue the alignment of Ukraine with the EU and international regulatory and

administrative practices (item 30). To prepare Ukraine’s integration into the European Research area (item 63). To develop Ukraine’s research and technological development capabilities in the service of the

economy and the society (item 64). To promote Ukraine’s integration in high-level scientific exchanges and in particular to Reinforce

the exchange of personnel within joint projects and make further progress in cooperation in the space sector and continue support for the joint space working group under the PCA (item 65).

Promote the exchange of experience on industrial restructuring, especially on the social effects of restructuring and state aid best practice (part of item 45).

To develop co-operation in satellite navigation (item 46).

3.- Description of the twinning project 3.1- Background and justification: 3.1.1- Ukraine was an important actor of the space activity in the former USSR and remains, with its industries and research institutes, a key country in the domain of space activities. After the independence, Ukraine inherited of a third of the previous Soviet Union space facilities. So, the potential of the space sector is oversized and certainly more important than some EU countries. This sector is composed of 32 bodies including plants, institutions, and research institutes. Most of them are located in Kiev, Kharkiv and Dnipropetrovs’k. The main actors are: In Kiev, Arsenal Design Bureau for navigation systems, optic, and opto-electronics and

Kievpribor plant for space devices; In Kharkiv, Hartron for guidance systems and NIIRI for telemetry systems;

In Dnipropetrovsk, Yuzhnoye Design Bureau for design of launchers and satellites and

Yuzhmash plant for production of launchers and satellites. The industries of this sector have developed up-to-date technologies which could be used by other industries such as fuel and energy, agriculture, food industry and processing branches of the

6

agricultural complex, machine-building, medical equipment, transport facilities (trams and trolleybuses), and telecommunications. 3.1.2- After the declaration of its independence in August 1991, Ukraine set up the National Space Agency of Ukraine (NSAU) in February 1992 in order to: Develop the state policy concepts in the sphere of research and peaceful uses of space, as well

as in the interest of national security; Organize and develop space activities in Ukraine and, under its jurisdiction, abroad; Contribute to State national security and defence capabilities; State support to the commercialisation of space activities; Organize and develop Ukraine's cooperation with other States and international space

organisations. The competences of NSAU cover: The development of the National Space Programme, together with the National Academy of

Science and other ministries and departments; Submission of the National Space Programme budget to the Cabinet of Ministers for review; NSAU is the general contractor for research and use of outer space, R&D works for space

equipment both for home use and international projects; NSAU conducts and coordinates space vehicle launchings, spacecraft control activities, space

data reception and processing; Licensing of space activities; Responsibility for the functioning and development of Ukrainian Space Equipment

Certification System, registration of space objects; Management of State enterprises under the responsibility of the Agency; Development of scientific and technical policies aimed at the utilisation of space

communications, TV and Radio broadcasting Systems; Participation in drafting international space agreements and representation of Ukraine in

international organisations dealing with peaceful uses of outer space; Space activity security supervision; Space technologies transfer and commercialisation ; Development of the space activity risk insurance System; Conversion of Ukrainian space industry enterprises.

NSAU is a Member of a number of international organisations and committees (see list in annex 4). As Ukrainian industrial potential in space activities is oversized for the domestic market, Ukraine is considering international cooperation with special attention with a priority for cooperation with Europe. For this reason, NSAU is discussing a cooperation agreement with the European Space Agency (ESA) with the status of ESA’s associate partner, and wishes to cooperate with EU Member States space agencies. In 2003, Ukraine was invited to participate in the preparation of the EU White Paper on space activities and NSAU represented Ukraine during this process. The white paper indicates that “Ukraine deserves particular attention as a country with a recognized space sector covered by the EU’s Wider Europe Policy Initiative” and presents “(Russia and) Ukraine as the closest partners of the enlarged Union”.

7

3.1.3- Already, NSAU has developed cooperation to provide launchers services with Sea Launch. In 1995, Yuzhnoye and Yuzhmash, in association with Boeing (USA), Kvaerner Maritime Systems (Norway) and Energiya Corporation (Russia) established a joint company, Sea Launch, to launch Zenit-2 from a modified oil-platform. This launcher has been modified by the adjunction of a third stage (Zenit-3SL). The sea segment encompasses the Assembly and Command Ship (ACS) – under the responsibility of Kvaerner Maritime Systems and the launch platform. The first two stages are produced by Yuzhmah, the third stage by Energiya Corporation and the payload system by Boeing. Up-to-now, 21 launches have been successfully realised. Another project consists of the realisation of a new launcher (Cyclone-4) derived from the series Cyclone-2 and Cyclone-3 to be launched from the Brazilian Space Centre of Alcantara. The maximum payload would be 5,5 tons in GTO orbit. In Earth observation satellites, Ukraine developed several projects such as Sich-1M which was launched on 24 December 2004 and is improving the ground system for data use in environment and land management. 3.1.4- SWOT analysis

Strengths Weaknesses • The project corresponds to the general

Agency strategy, namely: to enhance its activities. This strategy is supported by the Ukrainian government which understood that the project is for the benefit of the Agency and the country;

• For NSAU, international cooperation in space activities is in line with European space policy;

• NSAU has already established cooperation with the US; Brazil; China, and other countries;

• Ukraine has an established position in commercial satellite launch market

• NSAU companies have good technical facilities and very qualified technical staff for joint European-Ukrainian project realisation;

• There is a strong wish within NSAU, for more activities in international relations and to implement reforms;

• Insufficient turnover of companies as

compared with their size • NSAU and space companies staff have a

lack of experience in: - Market-oriented management; - IPR issues; - restructuring

• Experts from NSAU and industry are not trained enough upon European practices.

• The Agency has a limited budget and this prevents it from implementing staff training (amongst others)

• Some non space activities are still within the perimeter of space companies

• Not enough use of space technologies for non

space applications • Legislation and norms and standards needs

approximation with EU • Slow research and development process

8

Opportunities Threats

• Twinning project could raise the Agency level altogether (not only one selected department);

• It will enlarge the market and economic possibilities of Ukrainian space sector;

• The Agency and the space companies will become an obvious partner for European actors in the space sector;

• A successful Twinning project will open the door for new technology developments;

• Project results will give opportunities for spin-off benefits and technology transfers.

• In launchers market, the potential is oversized and Ukrainian space companies may face difficulties if a restructuring of the space industry is not implemented;

• Key staff could quit NSAU for business opportunities;

• Key staff positions could be affected by political decisions.

• No renewal of the personnel in the space sector because of a low attractiveness of the sector due to lower-than-market salaries

• Perception and image of Ukraine abroad could be negatively affected by repeated political changes

3.1.5- An Ukraine-EU Joint ad-hoc Working Group on Space Research and Peaceful Uses of Outer Space has been established in March 2003 (Brussels) to investigate means for a closer cooperation. Two meetings have been organised but limited results have been achieved. 3.2. Linked activities: INTAS CNES, NSAU and INTAS signed the protocol for a joint call for space technology development on 19 October 2005. The call was mainly oriented toward basic research but the proposals included also applied activities. The total budget was Euro 1,2 millions euros, with 500 000 from INTAS, 500 000 from CNES and 200 000 from NSAU. Eligible research teams must include at least two groups from INTAS countries and at least one group from New Independent States (NIS). 25 highly ranked proposals were presented and 11 of them were selected recently for future funding (including 7 with Ukrainian organisations). Bistro Three subsequently Bistro projects were funded through Tacis and were implemented during the period 2001-2006. General recommendations concerning space technology commercialisation were created during Bistro-1 (2002). Specific recommendations for IPR protection and an implementation plan for a Technology Transfer Centre were developed during the follow-up Bistro-2 (2004-2005). Links between leading Ukrainian space companies and their European partners were established and the joint R&D projects started as a result of the third Bistro project.

Galileo Ukraine has three operational telecommunication stations that can receive signals from GPS and GLONASS. They could be used for Galileo in the future. The Cooperation Agreement for the creation of the civilian global monitoring system between EU and Ukraine was signed during the 9th Ukraine-EC Summit held in Kiev on 1st December 2005. GMES NSAU started the national project for creation of the Ukrainian segment for GMES. The decision for starting this project is based on: a) The National Space Program; b) The EU-Ukraine working group on space activity decision (See Par. 3.1.5)

The main R&D activities in this project include the following topics: Monitoring of crops, especially into agricultural lands; Information support of the risk management (in particular for the forest fires or the floods); Azov and Black sea monitoring and appropriate coasts; Space weather and atmospheric monitoring; Load on the environment, in particular water pollution and soil shift.

Sea Launch/World Bank For the Sea Launch project, a consortium of American banks provided a loan of 100 millions USD, covered by a guaranty from the World Bank for covering the political risks in Ukraine. To ensure this process, the following international agreements were prepared by NSAU: The Agreement between Ukraine and European Bank for Reconstruction and Development

for counter-guaranty of political risks (signed on 30 December1997); The Agreement between Cabinet of Ministries of Ukraine and Sea Launch Company for

project support (signed on 16 December1997); The Agreement between the Government of Ukraine and the US Government for technology

protection, authorising Ukraine to launch American satellites (signed on 6 March 1998); The Agreement between the Government of Ukraine and the Government of the US for

technology protection, which is connected with Ukrainian launching equipment and technical data for Sea Launch project (signed on 29 September1999).

3.3- Results:

The new political situation and in particular the development and the implementation of market reforms, the consideration of external markets, the trend in the commercialisation of space activities and the European integration require new knowledge and skills to maintain Ukraine among the space fairing countries. Issues like strategy, development, management, marketing, cooperation with European space agencies and industry, human resources and capacity building are key points to be tackled by NSAU and enterprises of the space industry.

10

The results to be produced will be as follows: Policy design (PD)

RPD 1 – An annual activity report generated and the process ready to generate future reports. This annual activity report will be a communication tool which will be used internally to convince the Cabinet of Ministers that NSAU activities are relevant for Ukraine, and externally to promote NSAU towards foreign partners. RPD 2 - Key enterprises and activities that will form the future space industry and the perimeter of the restructuring identified. This will be a major input for the establishment of an efficient space industry able to cooperate with European companies or/and to be able to compete with these companies.

Legislation (LG)

RLG 1 – Approximated Ukrainian space laws (and particularly the law on space activities of 1996) with existing laws of European countries. The cooperation with European space agencies and space industry will require an adaptation of the Ukrainian legislation. However, the personnel are not fully informed about European space legislations, practices and mechanisms. RLG 2 –Approximated Ukrainian legal provisions on Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) to European ones. The space companies must be associated to this work in order to become aware and able to fully implement the new provisions. RLG 3 –Unidroit Convention and the Protocol on space assets ratified. The Unidroit1 Convention on international interests in mobile equipment, signed in 2001, establishes an international legal regime on mobile equipments that can be easily transferred between states. The Protocol on space assets is currently being prepared. The Convention offers an international protection for these equipments and the Protocol will enable space companies to obtain more easily financing from financial institutions for their mobile space assets (mainly satellites). The ratification of this convention will facilitate the financing of commercial projects.

RICB - Institution and capacity building

RICB 1 – Human Resources policy designed, validated and implemented The Human Resources Division needs improving in the management of personnel and support in personnel policy design and the implementation of evaluation procedures. The main issues to be solved encompass: Acquisition of adequate personnel management methods, Development of personnel administration and methods for selection and career evolution; Implementation of annual plans of personnel administration, determination of annual

perspective needs in personnel, trainings and qualification improvement; Policy on training and capacity building and information to the personnel on training

possibilities; RICB 2 – Participation in projects within ESA framework. The signature of NSAU/ESA agreement will be an important step for the establishment of closer links between the two organisations. The Ukrainian space industry will be able to participate in joint projects according to ESA regulations and cooperation areas will be explored. RICB 3 – Increased participation and improvement of quality of proposals in the Framework Programme 7 (FP7). Up-to-now, the results in previous EC framework programmes proposals were not encouraging. Due to the importance of such programmes to develop a close cooperation with Europe, the participation in FP7 has to be stimulated. RICB 4 – Setting up of Technology Commercialisation structures. One of the objectives of the Presidential decree of February 2001 is the commercialisation of space technologies. This is a very important issue for NSAU and the space companies and the Technology Transfer Centre is a way to achieve this objective. RICB 5 – Gaps between Ukrainian and European provisions in norms and standards identified and knowledge of NSAU and enterprises improved. Two twinning projects (one on norms and standards and one on accreditation) are under consideration in Ukraine. For the space industry, one of the problems limiting the cooperation is the use of different norms and standards than EU countries. RICB 6 – Comprehensive knowledge of potential uses and commercial applications of Galileo acquired by interested parties. The Galileo2 project will provide precise positioning for various applications such as agriculture, transportation, environment, mapping, towns and roads development, and traffic management. Galileo presents an interest for Ukraine in order to develop civil applications for its social and economic development.

9- Conditionality and sequencing

9.1 - This Twinning fiche has been developed on the basis of NSAU needs and wishes; however the detailed activity list is not compulsory but subject to discussion and negotiation between NSAU and the MS partner organization that will be chosen.

9.2 - –NSAU will be responsible for the programming, coordination and monitoring of the project.

9.3 - NSAU will provide free of charge and as from the start of the twinning operations, the appropriate working environment to the RTA, the RTA Assistant and to the Short Term Experts to be invited. This includes but is not limited to provision of offices, telephone and internet access for RTA, RTA Assistant and STEs, access to relevant data and persons dealing with subjects concerned, and invitation of space companies to participate in various activities.

9.4 - Senior management of NSAU will be fully committed and will be fully involved in the activities.

9.5 - Support for the Technology Transfer (TTC) will only be possible if the financing is available, either from the Ukrainian government, from NSAU itself or from any other source. In the eventuality that the financing of TTC is not yet secured when the project starts, a contingency plan is proposed which would still allow the NSAU to make some progress in technology commercialisation activities. In that case, the twinning could develop 2 workshops. One would be aimed at sharing experience between Ukraine and Europe for better commercialisation of Ukrainian technologies and services for space-linked activities. The second one would target the sharing of experience for commercialisation of Ukrainian Technologies and services to non-space applications. 9.6 - Results and activities that have been withheld in this fiche should have a perennial outcome on NSAU global activity and working methods. It should conduct to structural changes which will make it even more efficient and closer to the European research sector.
