Highlights

Eleven companies took part in the international tender that lead to the selection of the satellite supplier for the Defense and Strategic Communications Geostationary Satellite System (SGDC)
This role has been fulfilled by Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE), which has played a key role in developing early space technology capabilities in the country with successful programs such as the SCD or the CBERS series
According to this new model, public research institutes would focus on leading edge technology development, with its inherent high risk, whereas the industrial integrator would help bringing these technologies into the market in a more efficient, cost effective way once they get mature
