Unified Ground Automated Control Complex (UGACC) was created for spacecraft control and management. The complex notably contributed to several world-changing events. It started its operations with the reception of radio signal from the first artificial Earth satellite on October 4, 1957. The complex also provided radio communication with the first astronaut Yuriy Gagarin on April 12, 1961.
UGACC played key roles in successful implementation of the following missions:
- Control and monitoring, receiving and processing data from all manned space vehicles (Vostok, Voshod, Soyuz-Apollo, Salyut, Mir, Progress, Energiya-Buran);
- Control and monitoring, receiving and processing data from Luna and Lunohod space scientific laboratories, and
- "Venera", "Mars", "Astron", "Vega", "Fobos", "Granat", "Interball" International Space Programs.
UGACC consists of Spacecraft Flight Operation Center, Special Data Receiving and Processing Center and Outer Space Monitoring Center.
UGACC infrastructure comprises:
- Assorted command-program and trajectory radio lines,
- Facilities for receiving telemetric data,
- Quantum optical systems,
- Utensils for receiving universal coordinated time,
- Facilities for receiving, assembling, processing, archiving and distributing data obtained from satellites.
Nowadays, UGACC conducts monitoring and control of Sich-1 and Okean-O spacecraft in the framework of National Space Program of Ukraine and international cooperation. It also receives, processes and distributes data obtained from other space vehicles.
UGACC envisages broadening of its activities in the following fields:
- Establishment of International Center of Space Explorations in Yevpatoria, the Crimea,
- Participation in international space research and international spacecraft control,
- Universe research.
