Comentário: Bom leitor, teremos de aguardar as próximas horas para saber no que isso vai dar. No entanto, desconfio que no caso da ACS possa significar um maior comprometimento financeiro (empréstimo ou algo parecido) por parte do Brasil junto à Ucrânia visando assim cumprir o prazo de fevereiro de 2012 para o primeiro lançamento do foguete Cyclone-4 divulgado na semana passada em Alcântara. Vamos aguardar.
