Brazil Space Agency (BSA)-TV
Brazil Space Agency (BSA)-TV: The Brazilian Space Agency (AEB) is the main authority overseeing Brazil's space program, transitioning from a military-controlled framework to a civilian agency in 1994. The agency coordinates space activities, coordinating efforts across various institutions, universities, and private sector partners. It operates significant launch sites, such as the Alcântara Launch Center in Maranhão, which offers advantages for launching satellites into geostationary orbits and reduces fuel costs by up to 30% compared to Kennedy Space Center launches. The AEB has also engaged in numerous international partnerships, notably with countries like China, India, and the United States, facilitating joint technological developments and expanding Brazil's capabilities in satellite technology and space exploration. The origins of Brazil's space program date back to 1961, with various military and civilian organizations involved until the establishment of the AEB. Notable milestones include the launch of Brazil's first satellite, SCD-1, in 1993, the successful launch of its first rocket, VSB-30, from Alcântara in 2004, and Marcos Pontes becoming the first Brazilian astronaut to travel to space in 2006. In February 2024, the AEB celebrated its 30th anniversary, highlighting achievements such as over 500 launches from Alcântara and extensive international collaborations. The agency continues to focus on enhancing its infrastructure and expanding its role in global space activities.
