Bolivian Space Agency Partners With Universidad Católica For Development
The Bolivian Space Agency and the Universidad Católica Boliviana San Pablo are partnering to develop and operate Bolivia’s first homegrown satellite, Waskiri-Sat. The satellite is a CubeSat-type nanosatellite with on-board artificial intelligence and multispectral cameras, and will be used for data exchange in the fight against forest fires. The partnership also includes the promotion of a framework law on civil space policy, which aims to attract foreign investment and provide the State with satellite information for food security, risk management, and forest monitoring. This development was first reported by Aviacionline.
