Abstract: The article includes analysis of the mechanisms of cooperation of the states in the sphere of outer space between the two international organizations: the ESA and the CIS. Much attention is paid to the forms of cooperation, the issues to be dealt with, the mechanisms for the coordination of the efforts of the Member States. The comparative analysis of the normative bases and practical results shows the principal differences between the mechanisms of cooperation which are used in those organizations. The cooperation within the CIS currently faces considerable organizational and political diffi culties. The perspective of the ESA is in the greater integration of the ESA and the EU states in order to achieve the goals more effi ciently at the European rather than national level. The author comes to a conclusion that it is possible to use the experience of the ESA in order to develop cooperation in the sphere of space at the universal level. Keywords: international law, space, cooperation, the NIS, the ESA, integration, commercialization, fi nancing, forms, Baikonur. This article can be downloaded freely in PDF format for reading.
