President of Colombia Ivan Dukesaid Colombia put into orbit satellite which will allow the country to conduct research on greenhouse gas emissions and combat the devastating effects of the climate crisis that is afflicting the planet.

He explained that the new satellite would allow Colombia are better able to measure their greenhouse gas emissions “and combat the devastating effects of the climate crisis that is afflicting the planet.”

Colombia in space

FAKSAT-1The first satellite of the FAC space program was launched into orbit on November 29, 2018 by a rocket launched from the Satish Dhawan Space Center (SDSC) located in Sriharikota, India.

On the other hand, Duke said that Colombia will soon send a team of FAC professionals and officers to Europe to accompany the analog astronaut mission.

“We have never taken this step before, and today talented men and women from our country will go to Europe on this important mission, where they will have to pass a series of tests and requirements,” he said.

He explained that the Colombian personnel will take part in a complex planetary exploration project in which they will undergo simulation exercises in conditions that they would find on Mars.

“In the next 10 years, as a result of our collaboration with other aerospace forces, we want a Colombian to be in space in one of these crews,” Duque said. EFE
