As a result of the discussion on the state and prospects of space activities in Ukraine, which took place on April 12-13 at the working meeting "SPACE IN THE TIME OF WAR AND PEACE," the COSMOS Association and the Space Research Council of NASU created an initiative working group on the analysis of space activities to prepare the main provisions of conceptual documents in the field of space activities. The Presidium of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine supported this initiative at a meeting on July 10, 2024. This paper outlines the main provisions of the draft basic document "Conceptual Foundations of State Policy of Ukraine in the Field of Space Activity." The work identifies the main problems that need to be solved and, in particular, emphasizes the new challenges of organizing space activities as a result of Russian aggression against Ukraine. The initial provisions laid down in the ideology of the approach of the authors are formulated, a short SWOT analysis of the current state of space activity in Ukraine is given, the idea of introducing a new model of domestic space activity is put forward, a list of priority steps for introducing such a model is given, guidelines and indicators for achieving the set common goals are formulated. The analysis of problems, the principles of the formation and implementation of state policy aimed at solving them are set out in the following sections: characteristics of modern space activities in the world and Ukraine; the state and problems of the existing competencies of space activities of Ukraine; common goals, priorities, and objectives of space activities in Ukraine; ways of organizing space activities in Ukraine; priority measures; expected results.
