Agencia Espacial Brasileira

Agencia Espacial Brasileira is Brazil's civilian federal space agency, created on 10 February 1994 and headquartered in Brasilia.^[1]^[2] It formulates, coordinates, and executes national space policy, working with Brazilian research, aerospace, and defence institutions across the National Space Activities Programme.^[1]^[3] For Earth-observation buyers, AEB is primarily a programme authority and funder rather than a day-to-day satellite operator. Its programme portfolio includes CBERS, Amazonia, SCD, VLS, and PNAE, with SCD environmental data-collection missions and Amazonia-class Earth-observation activity handled through Brazil's implementing institutions.^[4]^[5]
