Ukraine and Life Science

By the end of 1994, Ukraine was still waiting to launch its first national satellite, Sich 1, for the purpose of Earth observation and remote sensing. However, in mid-1994 a report claimed that the Yuzhnoye Design Bureau in Dnepropetrovsk intended to launch a biosatellite during 1996-1997. No specifications about the payload, the spacecraft or the launch vehicle were forthcoming (Reference 40).
