Participación Peruana en el Workshop del Proyecto QB50

The first QB50 Workshop was held on 17–18 November 2009 at the von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics (VKI) in Brussels), Belgium.

The aim of the Workshop was to provide essential background information regarding the QB50 Project to the invited representatives of the CubeSat teams and to provide a forum for discussion among Workshop participants.

The participation in the Workshop was limited to about 100 persons (CubeSat teams, Invited Speakers, members of the Scientific Programme Committee, European Space Agency representatives) but our country Peru has managed to be there, being represented by Mr. Jaime Estela and Mr. Naresh Krishnamurthy.

Dr. Asma, responsible for the project´s coordination thanked Mr. Jaime Estela and Mr. Martín Canales Romero for their continuing support and interest on the project.

The QB 50, will be an international network of 50 CubeSats for multi-point, in-situ measurements in the lower thermosphere and re-entry research.
