Under severe criticism of Yuri Alekseev, who is the former head of Yuzhmash and the current chairman of KSAU, Pavel Alekseev’s activity. According to him, the current leadership has not taken any measures to create a plan for the development of the industry, at least in the short term., reported on https://yuzhnoye.com.ua/Yuriy-Alekseev-otrasl-na-krayu-rozvala. As a result, such unpreparedness of the State Space Agency of Ukraine may cause serious consequences in the future..
At the same time, Alekseev did not miss the chance to note the fact, that despite the loud slogans of the government, the government is not interested in the real situation with the development of Ukrainian space. The main sign of such a conclusion is the frequent change of frames., especially senior positions at SSAU. So, eg, in the last period after Alekseev, the position was occupied by another 4 man, including such persons, as Oleg Urusky and Yuri Radchenko. Some management representatives had problems with the court upon dismissal.
Alekseev claims, that Pavel Degtyarenko, currently in office, acts in the interests and under the full control of another representative – Alexandra Degtyareva. He draws such conclusions on the basis of some signs, which are noted in both. So, eg, similarity in rhetoric and full lobbying in relation to Yuzhnoye Design Bureau.
Particular attention should be paid to the development. Despite ongoing research, not a single development was fully completed. Maximum reachable level – development of the mock-up project.
In addition, the position of Ukraine on the global space arena is significantly weakening.. Despite, that many representatives of Ukraine make presentations at some foreign space press conferences, does not make a significant contribution to the development of the industry.
However, Alekseev notes, what is hope, what in 2019 year there will be a shift in development and a new wave of Sea Launch revival will begin. According to the ex-head of Yuzhmash and SSAU, in the same period of time, it is possible to complete the development of the Ukrainian combat missile.. There are already prerequisites for such positive dynamics.
The main problem is with the supply of components, which must be imported from Russia. Due to the conflict situation between the countries, this process has not yet been established.. However, exit is possible.. Considering the option of importing some parts, including control system and motors, directly to the USA, bypassing the territory of Ukraine. Long Beach will host final assembly and all phases of testing. The dates of the first and last launch are tentatively scheduled for December 2019 and 2022 of the year.
