NASA
Administrator Charles Bolden and Brazilian Space Agency (AEB) President José
Raimundo Braga Coelho have signed agreements to further research into
heliophysics and space weather and to enhance global climate study and
educational opportunities.
“I am delighted
to expand our relationship with our long time exploration partner Brazil
through these agreements,” Bolden said. “This partnership encompasses critical
work not only to understand our planet, but also to help develop the leaders of
tomorrow, and we look forward to many positive outcomes.”
“Brazil has an incredibly
talented group of researchers and young people that are eager to participate in
and enrich the unique scientific and educational opportunities that NASA
affords,” Coelho said. “I am happy that the NASA-Brazil partnership continues
to grow through these activities that promise to be fruitful for our two
agencies and nations.”
Building on the
Framework Agreement between the Government of the United States of America and
the Government of the Federative Republic of Brazil on Cooperation in the
Peaceful Uses of Outer Space, the two space agencies finalized an implementing
arrangement that will enable Brazil to acquire and process space weather data
from NASA’s Van Allen Probes mission. In addition, the agreement enables
Brazilian participation in missions studying the sun’s impacts on Earth’s space
environment such as the Magnetospheric Multiscale mission.
Brazil also will
now be the newest partner in the Global Learning and Observations to Benefit
the Environment (GLOBE) program. The environmental science and education
program brings together teachers, students and scientists to use Earth and
space-based observations to study the global environment and promotes
understanding of our planet as a system.
NASA and AEB also
will partner to increase opportunities for Brazilian undergraduate and graduate
students to participate in an internship at a NASA center through the NASA
International Internship Program. The new agreement, signed separately by NASA
and AEB on June 18 will provide a unique educational experience for Brazilian
students while providing U.S. students an opportunity to work on international
teams.
