Ukraine Reaches a New Level in the Rocket and Space Industry
On June 16, 2021, a landmark event for national science and engineering took place—the invention of the “GreenSpace” Rocket and Space Complex was patented. This unique development features a launch vehicle with cold engines, which are both environmentally safe and energy-efficient.
The creation of this technology became possible thanks to a team of experts, including scientists from the Scientific Research Institute of Maritime and Space Law, Valentin Galunko and Viktor Levenko.
What is “GreenSpace,” and Why is It Important?
“GreenSpace” represents a revolutionary concept in space transportation.
The key feature of the complex is a launch vehicle with cold engines, significantly reducing the negative impact on the environment.
- Eco-friendliness: Traditional rockets use toxic fuel that pollutes the atmosphere. Cold engines operate on safe and clean technologies.
- Energy Efficiency: The new system ensures minimal resource consumption while maintaining high launch efficiency.
- Safety: Compared to traditional engines, cold engines significantly reduce the risk of explosions and accidents.
This technology opens up new possibilities for commercial launches, orbital research, and space exploration.
Legal Aspect: Patenting as a Strategic Step
The patenting of “GreenSpace” is not just a confirmation of the technology’s innovation but also a legal protection of the development. In a world where space technologies are a matter of strategic competition, intellectual property protection is crucial.
The Scientific Research Institute of Maritime and Space Law is engaged not only in technological research but also in creating legal mechanisms for their protection. The “GreenSpace” patent ensures:
- Securing intellectual property rights for Ukrainian scientists.
- Creating a foundation for the future commercialization of the development.
- Opportunities for international partnerships and investment in advanced space projects.
What’s Next? Future Prospects
Patenting is just the beginning. The next steps include testing, scaling, and achieving international recognition. Ukraine has already proven its ability to be a key player in the space industry, and “GreenSpace” could become one of the technologies that reshape the future of space launches.
The team at the Scientific Research Institute of Maritime and Space Law, including Galunko and Levenko, continues to work on the legal aspects of using cold engines, as well as analyzing the international regulatory framework for eco-friendly space technologies.
Conclusion
Ukraine has strong potential in the space industry, and the patenting of “GreenSpace” is further proof of our engineering and scientific excellence. The Scientific Research Institute of Maritime and Space Law remains at the forefront of developments that shape the next generation of space technologies.
The future starts here, and Ukraine is confidently stepping into the great space era!
