Bolivia

Bolivia is starting to be involved in space industry just recently. Since 2010, we have started to look up the skies for good, and in some years, we are going to launch our very first communications satellite. It is the first year of SGAC Bolivia, and we are looking forward to grow up quickly, and to have a lot of activities that will motivate children into the magnificent field of space exploration. We are indeed planning on having lots of members! Join us!

Young space activities overview in Bolivia
There has been always a great interest in space in Bolivia; now, we are trying to focus all that interest to have as many activities as possible. We are looking forward to have new members, especially young professionals and students, to motivate teenagers and children  with activities that will enhance their passion to learn new things and to get them fascinated with all the aspects that involve space exploration and all the space industry, it is time for this country to look up to the stars!  It is time for the new Bolivian Space Generation to shine!

Country-specific events in 2012

We are looking to add more activities, it seems to be interest in this from the local government:

• 12 April 2012 – Yuri’s night Bolivia, La Paz City, Bolivia: We are looking forward to organize the first Yuri’s night here! More info coming soon.
• Bolivian Space Week: There is no date so far, the idea is to  show all the information on Bolivian progress on space industry; there will be conferences and a lot of activities. Further information will be given  as soon as possible but it is planned to be a nice and spectacular event for all to enjoy!
• 4-10 October 2012 – World Space Week: Semana Mundial del Espacio – Bolivia
• SGAC Week (Confirmation needed) – Where we will learn more about SGAC and its role world-wide.
