[spectre] Olats News : New in Virtual Africa

NEW IN VIRTUAL AFRICA


"Alma da Agua : A Space Awareness Initiative" by Richard Clar and Dinis
Ribeiro 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Natural water samples gathered from the eight Portuguese speaking
countries will be combined in space aboard a Brazilian sounding rocket.
In celebrating metaphorically their common bond of language, the project
addresses the possibility of greater technical unification and deeper
collaboration of Portuguese speaking countries in addressing the issues
of water management using space technology.
