Abstract
The article explores the nature and architecture of space governance and how it has evolved and will continue to evolve without a global government or supreme authority. Understanding how the principles and rules applicable to these activities are established, implemented, and reformed is fundamental. The paper highlights the emergence and development of global administration and the evolution of its study. This article is accompanied by an analysis of the space governance structure and a review of decentralized governance theories to propose a feasible, efficient and dynamic space governance model that will ensure its continuous evolution. The article highlights the importance of implementing decentralization of administration in space activities for Ukraine during the martial time and in the conditions of European integration.
Keywords: decentralization, administration of space activities, national security, European integration
