The Day of Space and Rocket Industry Workers is observed in Ukraine on April 12 each year. Established in 1997 by President Leonid Kuchma, this holiday recognizes the significant contributions of workers in the rocket and space industry to the development of modern technology and its integration into the national economy. The State Space Agency of Ukraine, which was founded in 1992 and renamed in 2010, plays a key role in implementing state policy related to space research and activities. On this day, employees in the space and rocket sector receive congratulations from government representatives, local authorities, and heads of institutions, highlighting the importance of their work in advancing Ukraine's space capabilities.
