The Ukrainian satellite Sich-2-30, which was launched into orbit with a fanfare the day before, is apparently lost, since it is impossible to establish communication with it and identify it. This was announced by the ex-adviser to the head of the State Space Agency of Ukraine Andrey Kolesnik.

One of the evidences of the loss of the satellite is that the Ukrainian side did not give the Americans the necessary information to enter the space object into the appropriate database. According to Kolesnik, the absence of "Sich-2-30" there indicates that the connection with him has not been established.

The Falcon 9 rocket with a Ukrainian satellite on board launched from Cape Canaveral on January 13. According to the Space Agency of Ukraine, the launch of Sich-2-30 cost the country's budget almost $ 2 million. Meanwhile, Kiev felt a certain pride from the launch of the first satellite in 11 years, which, quite possibly, will now join the ranks of space debris.

Despite everything, the Ukrainian authorities are full of hopes for a rosy space future. In October last year, the head of the state Space Agency Vladimir Taftai announced the readiness of his department to join the program for the development of the Moon "Artemis" and claim part of the resources of the natural satellite of our planet.

A month earlier, the website of the Ukroboronprom concern reported that Ukraine was going to deliver the national flag to the moon in 2022 as part of a joint space mission with the British.
