Washington, D.C. – NASA Administrator Bill Nelson will visit Peru next week to sign an agreement with the Peruvian Space Agency (CONIDA) to enhance cooperation in space science and exploration.
The agreement will establish a framework for collaboration in areas such as:
- Earth observation
- Space science missions
- Capacity building
- Technology development
“This agreement is a testament to Peru’s growing role in space,” said Nelson. “We are excited to work with CONIDA to advance our mutual goals in space exploration and to inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers in Peru.”
Nelson will meet with Peruvian President Pedro Castillo and other government officials during his visit. He will also tour CONIDA’s facilities and deliver a speech to students at the National University of Engineering.
The agreement between NASA and CONIDA is part of NASA’s broader strategy to strengthen international partnerships in space. NASA currently has cooperative agreements with over 100 countries and organizations around the world.
“We believe that space exploration is a global endeavor, and we are committed to working with our international partners to advance our knowledge of the universe,” said Nelson.
CONIDA was established in 2019 to promote the development of Peru’s space sector. The agency is responsible for coordinating space activities in Peru and promoting international cooperation.
“We are honored to sign this agreement with NASA,” said CONIDA President Dr. Jorge Silva. “This collaboration will provide Peru with access to NASA’s expertise and resources, and it will help us to develop our own space capabilities.”
The agreement between NASA and CONIDA is expected to be signed on November 17, 2024.
