  • the Department for Astrometry (the head is Dr.Sci. A. I. Yatsenko);

  • the Department for Physics of Stars and Galaxies (it is headed by Dr.Sci., Member of NAS of Ukraine Yu. I. Izotov). The Department includes the Laboratory for Physics of Galaxies with Active Star Formation (the head is Dr.Sci., Member of NAS of Ukraine Yu. I. Izotov).

  • the Department for Space Geodynamics (the head is Dr.Sci., Member of NAS of Ukraine Ya. S. Yatskiv). It includes the Ukrainian Centre for determination of Earth orientation parameters (headed by Dr.Sci., Member of NAS of Ukraine Ya. S. Yatskiv) and the Laboratory for Laser Observations (headed by Ph.D. M. M. Medvedsky);

  • the Department for Space Plasma Physics (the leader of the Department is Dr.Sci. O. N. Kryshtal). Cosmic Ray Laboratory headed by Ph.D. B. O. Shakhov forms part of the Department;

  • the Department for Physics of Solar System Bodies (it is headed by Dr.Sci. A. P. Vid'machenko). It inclides the Laboratory for Atmospheric Optics (the head is Ph.D. M. G. Sosonkin);

  • the Department for Solar Physics (Dr.Sci. N. G. Shchukina is the head of the Department);

  • the Laboratory for Physics of Comets (the head is Ph.D. P. P. Korsun);

  • the Laboratory for Transient Phenomena in Stars (the head is Ph.D. B. Yu. Zhilyaev);

  • Astro/Space Information and Computing Centre (ASICC) (the head of the ASICC is Dr.Sci. P. P. Berczik; the Centre inclides the Laboratory for Astro-Information (the head is Ph.D. I. B. Vavilova);

  • the Department for Technological Information and Publishing Activities (the head is I. P. Kryachko).

The MAO NASU History Museum was created in honour of the 60th anniversary of the Main Astronomical Observatory in 2004. The head of the Museum is Ph.D. A. O. Korsun'.
