A vision for the future of INPE in the 21st century Gilberto Câmara, Director General NationalInstitute for SpaceResearch (INPE) Brazil
A vision to follow.... Dr. Vikram Sarabhai (father of Indian space program) "There are some who question the relevance of space activities in a developing nation. To us, there is no ambiguity of purpose. We do not have the fantasy of competing with the economically advanced nations in the exploration of the moon or the planets or manned space-flight. But we are convinced that if we are to play a meaningful role nationally, and in the community of nations, we must be second to none in the application of advanced technologies to the real problems of man and society. "
A Vision for INPE in the 21st Century Brazil will be an environmental power and the first developed nation in the tropics INPE will be a world-class centre in Space and Environment R&D for the tropical region

CBERS in PrivateFarm Management “CBERS brought the freedom to have data immediately available when you need it.”
CBERS as a global satellite Miyun Urumchi Aswan Maspalomas Ghuangzhou Chetumal Bangcoc Gabon(?) Nairobi(?) Boa Vista Darwin(?) Cuiabá Alice Springs (?) Jo´burg CBERS ground stations will cover most of the Earth’s land mass between 300N and 300S
“A few satellites can cover the entire globe, but there needs to be a system in place to ensure their images are readily available to everyone who needs them. Brazil has set an important precedent by making its Earth-observation data available, and the rest of the world should follow suit.”
