KIEV, Feb. 9 - A team from the German Aerospace Center (DLR) is due to arrive in Kiev in March or April to discuss terms for a planned contract to allow the DLR to use Ukraine's Automatic System of Control and Analysis of Outer Space (SKAKO), which operates Ukrainian missile warning systems in Sevastopol and Mukacheve.

The planned visit is based on an agreement that followed talks in Germany between the Ukrainian National Space Agency and DLR, a source close to the talks told Interfax.
