Abstract

The article notes that in the maelstrom of military events on the territory of Ukraine, where the Russian Federation fired thousands of ballistic and cruise missiles, killing thousands of Ukrainians, interest in the topic of rocket and space technology has grown significantly. The interest of the Ukrainian population in information about the development of the rocket and space industry in Ukraine and its position in the world market of space services has especially grown. One of the fundamental problems in the study of the historical development of the rocket and space industry is the closeness of archival information resources due to the fact that the vast majority of these material media have access restrictions and are stored in the archival divisions of development organizations, while other documents that lose their technical relevance are destroyed. The article provides information that the list of topics, the scientific and technical documentation of which is subject to attribution to the National Archival Fund and transfer to state storage, contains little information on rocket and space topics. An important source in the field of rocket and space activities are the funds of museums of organizations where certain equipment was developed and produced. Another important source of information is interviews with direct participants in the creation of rocket technology, that is, oral sources of information. The authors considered the possibility of granting such oral sources of information the status of an official document. The necessity of conducting a verification of the reliability of the information obtained from the interview, which occurs due to the examination of the value of such information, is noted. In addition, the authors propose in the legal field to approve oral sources of information in the field of rocket and space activities to unique documents after conducting an appropriate examination to establish exceptional cultural value and importance for the formation of the national identity of the Ukrainian people, as well as extraordinary value in the military defense industry. countries. In addition, the need for guaranteed preservation of oral sources of information about rocket and space activities in the archives of Ukraine and ensuring their availability for use by the population and future generations was noted.

Keywords: rocket, space activity, legal regulation, oral sources of information, expertise, unique document, accessibility.
