KYIV, June 13 – Pivdenne, which designs Ukrainian space rockets, is working out plans to create a rocket engine production facility in the U.S., Pivdenne Design Bureau Director General Oleksandr Degtyarev said.
Ukraine offered the U.S. closer cooperation in space technology to help the U.S. eliminate its dependence on Russian heavy rocket engines RD-180.
"America will live in space without Ukraine, but it does not mean that we have no prospects," Degtyarev said at a press conference in Dnipro.
