Space in Brazil today and tomorrow :
An opinion of the President of the Space Agency in 2009, confirmed by all his
successors:
“Brazil is a huge country. Not only because of its area of roughly 8.5 million and its
coast of 8,000 km, but also because of its GNP of 1,000 billion USD and its
population of almost 190 million people. Only 4 other countries could be compared to
Brazil when it comes to these factors: the USA, China, India and Russia. Beyond
these characteristics, there is one that must be stressed. All of them, but Brazil, may
be considered as space powers.” – Carlos Ganem, Pres. Brazilian Space Agency, in O Globo, Dec.
2009
The Space agency (AEB) and the technological space center (INPE) issued end January 2013 the
New Civilian national space program (PNAE) 2012-2021
