Many countries were involved in space activities. The three leading spacefaring nations are the United States, the PRC, and the Russian Federation. The People’s Republic of China is the secondlargest in the world, with a great number of scientific and technological achievements in this field, PRC has the highest rate of development. Ukraine’s success is so modest that by 2021 it has been no longer considered a spacefaring nation abroad. However, in 1991 Ukraine was even ahead of the PRC in space research. This requires thorough consideration. Moreover, the conditions for public administration of space activities in the PRC and in one of the stable countries in Europe, the Kingdom of Sweden, should be studied, drawing parallels with Ukraine. The authors have carried out applied analytical research with a view to achieving greater efficiency in the work of the State Space Agency of Ukraine by improving public administration. The empirical scientific method is applied, that is, research and generalization for implementation in practice. The authors conclude that cooperation with the PRC in the field of space and missile activities should be continued, adapting the targeted provisions of Ukrainian legislation and the PRC to that end, taking into account the need to adapt European Union legislation to the legal framework of Ukraine.
