DUBAI // Emirati satellites are being considered by Argentina for the exchange of information and images, said Argentina’s foreign minister on Saturday.
The agreement, signed by both countries last year for peaceful cooperation on space issues, has led to projects of collaboration and support for satellite and other joint missions.
“Last July, we received a delegation from the Emirates Institution for Advanced Science and Technology in Buenos Aires and they visited our research centres,” said Hector Timerman, who is on a visit to the UAE.
“They were interested in the assay facilities and laboratories of Invap and the National Commission for Space Activities for future projects.”
Invap is an Argentine company that builds satellites and ground stations.
