Ukraine’s Real Contribution to the Soviet Space Program and Private Orbital Projects

We explore Ukraine’s real contribution to the Soviet space program and why it is so often treated as “belonging to no one.” We discuss private space as a real business and the opportunities for students to test their code in orbit. Guests include Olena Kompaniets, an astrophysicist at the Main Astronomical Observatory of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, and Dmytro Stetsenko, founder of Stetman, the company developing a Ukrainian alternative to Starlink called UASat.
