Young Space Activities Overview in Colombia

Most of the space initiatives and activities that take place in Colombia are thanks to the Colombian Space Commission (CCE). This commission acts as the national space agency of Colombia. The CCE is a high level body, chaired by the Colombia Vice President and comprised of the Foreign Affairs, National Defense, Agriculture and Rural Development, Interior of Justice and Transport Ministers; the Colombian Air Force Commander and the directors of the National Planning department, the Augustin Codazzi Geographic Institute (IGAC) and the Presidential Agency for the Social Action.

Besides the commission there are other entities and universities such as: The Sergio Arboleda University, the Bogotá Planetarium and Maloka, who create different activities and seminars to get kids and young professionals interested in space.

For more information make sure to check out our interesting link section below, as well as the Colombia’s annual report 2011.
