An official from the Secretariat of International Relations visited the National Institute for Space Research in São Paulo.
On an official mission still in Brazil, part of the delegation that accompanied governor Juan Manzur toured the facilities of the National Institute for Space Research, in order to strengthen existing Binational Cooperation.
Virginia Ávila, a reference employee at the Secretariat of International Relations in Tucumán, visited the facilities located in San Pablo.
Last year, representatives from the neighboring country in the area of aerospace innovation offered a Postgraduate Course between the National University of Tucumán (UNT) and the Regional National Technological University (UTN) of Tucumán, which marked the beginning of International Cooperation.
On Thursday, a Brazilian satellite was presented that will be launched into space in February, with an Indian orbit, which will require the presence of around twenty engineers to coordinate the assembly of the parts and subsequent takeoff.
After the tour and a subsequent meeting, the Undersecretary of International Relations stated that “the steps to follow for 2021 have been marked, with the presence of tucuman internships in the state of San Pablo”.
No less important data, highlights Ávila, “in addition to using renewable energy in this institute, such as solar panels to power the satellites, they also use sugarcane alcohol, a product also produced in Tucumán”.
“All of this leads to wanting to strengthen existing Binational Cooperation, thinking about working and articulating with all stakeholders: universities plus the private sector and the public sector, to formalize a startup where innovation, competitiveness and added value derived from sugar cane, between San Pablo and Tucumán”, concluded Ávila.
