Abstract

The relevance of this article is based on the need to find an answer to the question: are there mechanisms in the legal field and at the level of the management concept for adaptation to the inevitable evolutionary processes of the space industry, or is it necessary to look for new ways to regulate space activities? To answer this question, the authors needed to study the scientific doctrine, international acts and individual national norms of Ukraine regarding the identification of prerequisites for the development of global and national digital governance in the field of space activities, as well as the prospects for its proper functioning. The research is based on the use of a set of methods and techniques for carrying out scientific research. The main ones among which were the methods of analysis and synthesis, the formal-legal and the method of formalization. As a result of the study, it was stated that legal regulation does not keep pace with the development of the space industry and does not have the ability to cover all modern aspects of space activity with its influence. This leads to the need for a transition from formal bureaucracy to digital democracy in the aspects of legal regulation of space legal relations at the global and national levels. The example of Ukraine demonstrates the potential for the transition to this model of organizing and implementing communication between the authorities and society in the space industry, but it also indicates the need for a number of important administrative reforms.
