Welcome to SGAC Venezuela! For the past several years Venezuela has been increasing its participation in space-related activities. SGAC as international organisation has been a tool for those Venezuelan students and professionals who want to be involved in the space field. If you are a Venezuelan who loves space, astronomy, aeronautics, then you should think about joining our team. It will allow you to have a space network and to be involved in international projects. It is the first step in making Venezuelan space dreams into reality.

 

Young Space Activities Overview in Venezuela

Space related activities in Venezuela for youth include rocket competitions, astronomy observations, aeronautical projects and space educational activities in schools. The international projects of World Space Week and Yuri’s Night have been the main focus of recent SGAC activities. We have been developing these events in past years to educate the public, to let them know about the benefits of space, and the opportunities offered by space agencies and associations.
