MESSAGE FROM THE SECRETARY GENERAL OF THE INTERNATIONAL ACADEMY OF ASTRONAUTICS (IAA)
The Academy is very pleased to convey its members as well as the space community to the third IAA International Conference on Advanced Space Technologies for the Humankind Prosperity (Space Technologies: present and future) to be held in April 2011 in the beautiful city of Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine, at the door of the Cossack historical land and in one of the most prestigious hearts of the space technology.
It is important to underline the changes occurred during the last decades in this part of Europe as exemplified by the new commercial space ventures recognized by the International Academy of Astronautics with the 2009 Laurels for team Achievements given to Sea Launch. The space community of Ukraine, experienced and very dynamic, is now in the world top ten countries of the members of our Academy.
The Academy invites space experts as well as young promising specialists to discuss the launchers design, structural concepts, guidance and navigation and propulsion. It is also an opportunity to review last technology achievements from large to small satellites. The new formula to accept presentations not only in English with the support of mobile translator teams has proven its success in bringing space experts that were previously prevented to participate due to language barriers.
Dnepropetrovsk, located a couple of flight hours from Paris or Berlin, is not a remote city and is an excellent place to build new partnership in a friendly atmosphere. I would like to congratulate the International Program Committee, the Ukrainian members of the Academy, and particularly the IAA Vice-President Stanislav Konyukhov and the regional secretary Dr. Alexander Degtyarev for their efforts in making this third conference a success.

For the first time, the conference “Advanced Space Technologies for the Humankind Prosperity” was held in Dnepropetrovsk in 2007.
The conference proved to be a great success within scientific community of Ukraine, Russia and foreign countries. Informational messages, articles and interviews resuming the conference were published in some European editions, such as weekly magazine Acta Astronautica, information digests.
Taking this into account, the conference promoters, Yuzhnoye in the first place, reached a decision, which was upheld by the IAA, to regularly hold the International Rocket and Space Conference once every two years in Dnepropetrovsk.
The second Conference was held in 2009. More than 250 people from 13 countries were the participants.

Dnepropetrovsk
Dnepropetrovsk is one of the biggest regional centers of Ukraine. The city has a favorable geographical position. Widely spread on both banks of the river Dnepr, it is located at the intersection of important railways and highways.
In 1776, Prince Grigory Potyomkin by order of Yekaterina II founded the city that was called in her honor – Yekaterinoslav. According to the initial plan of Yekaterina II, the city had to become the third, southern capital of the Russian Empire.
In 1926, the city was given a new name – Dnepropetrovsk – in honor of Grigory Petrovsky, a Soviet statesman and communist party figure.
Since the beginning of the 19th century, the city has been the most important center of metallurgical and machine-building industry: and since the 1950s it has also become the center of space launch systems production.
Today, Dnepropetrovsk is a rapidly growing city, gaining a truly European look day by day, with a modern social and economic structure. It is also the biggest cultural center of the region with numerous theatres, cinema and concert halls, museums, and diverse services. The city is the main commercial and industrial center of the Eastern Ukraine, and it is the biggest center of Pridneprovye.
Palace of Students
Among the oldest buildings in Dnepropetrovsk (former Yekaterinoslav) there is a palace of Prince Potyomkin built in the 1790s, which is now known as the Palace of Students of Dnepropetrovsk National University.
A prominent Russian architect I.E. Starov was engaged in development of Yekaterinoslav. It was he who created a construction project of the future palace. The palace had to play an important composition role in the formation of the downtown on a vast hill. At that time, the garden of Lazar Globa, a retired Cossack captain of Zaporozhye, was located in the place of the future palace. So Prince Potyomkin had to buy the plot from Lazar Globa. The palace was built in the classicism style, typical at the end of the 18th century.
The building was burnt down during the Second World War. Just walls and columns were left from the former palace.
In 1952, the palace was restored and rebuilt by joint efforts of Dnepropetrovsk students, so that it acquired the present look. The former Potyomkin Palace has turned into the Palace of Students. The Palace of Students has become a real cultural, spiritual, and entertainment center for the students.
Space Industry of Ukraine
The history of missile development in Ukraine traces its roots back to the beginning of the 16th century when the Cossacks commanded by hetman Ruzhynsky used missiles in 1515.
General Zasyadko was the first in the regular army to apply jet projectiles that were successfully employed in 1828-1829 during the war with Turkey.
The beginning of the 20th century was characterized by a rapid development of the missile production theory and practice:
1881 – Kibalchich N.I. – Project of a manned launch vehicle;
1919 – Kondratyuk Y.V. – Theory of development of a multi-stage liquid rocket;
1940 – Kharkov rocket group under the direction of Proskura G.F. launched an experimental solid rocket.
The space launch technologies started to be put in practice after the Second World War. Remarkable models of missile and spacecraft were designed by the people who were born or worked in Ukraine: General Designers Korolyov S.P., Yangel M.K., Glushko V.P., Sergeyev V.G. and others.
One of the world’s best launch vehicles were developed in Dnepropetrovsk. Four generations of intercontinental missiles, seven types of space launch systems, and more than seventy types of spacecraft were designed in this space center.
The development of Ukrainian space launch technologies continues in close cooperation with various countries of the world.
