2) China and Ukraine Deal
China and Ukraine sign a long-term cooperation agreement for space, encompassing 69 projects totaling $70M+ over the period of 2021-2025. The projects include a joint space research laboratory and stronger information exchanges between the two countries.

The agreement comes after Ukraine’s Vice Prime Minister for EU and Euro-Atlantic Integration, Dmytro Kuleba, said in early 2020 that Ukraine needed to decrease trade barriers with China and enhance cooperation, including, he mentioned at the time, in the domain of space.

3) CGWIC BRI Satcom Report
Earlier this week, CGWIC released a report (borrowing heavily from Euroconsult data with proper and very kind citation) about opportunities for communications satellites in Belt and Road regions. An interesting report for those interested in learning more about BRI satcom opportunities.

Be sure to join next week for Part 2 of the CCAF roundup. Separately, be on the lookout for a special interview with Cao Meng of Expace next week, and please send us any questions for our extra special guest coming up in November, Mr. Kevin XU from Landspace Technologies. See you next time!
