Brasil, Índia e África do Sul fecham acordo para fabricação de satélites
Brasília – A fabricação em conjunto de dois satélites foi decidida hoje (15) na reunião do Ibas, fórum de discussão que envolve os chefes de Estado e de governo do Brasil, da Índia e África do Sul, realizada em Brasília. Ainda não há detalhes sobre o preço e as características dos equipamentos nem quando serão implementados. No entanto, os três chefes de Estado se disseram animados com a possibilidade da construção dos satélites.
De acordo com o presidente Lula serão fabricados dois satélites, um para estudos climáticos e outro para observações da Terra. “Eles beneficiarão os países do Ibas e outras nações amigas, proporcionando mais ações em matéria de agricultura, transporte e telecomunicações. É o projeto símbolo da nova etapa da nossa parceria”.
A ideia também foi elogiada pelo presidente da África do Sul, Jacob Zuma. “A África do Sul está especialmente animada com a proposta de termos os satélites do Ibas. Vemos essa iniciativa como um fator que vai reforçar nossa cooperação em áreas como agricultura, energia, saúde, comércio e transportes”.
Além da fabricação dos satélites, disse Lula, foram assinados também acordos trilaterais para ampliar a cooperação em ciência tecnologia e inovação na área de energia solar. O encontro entre os três países serviu ainda para intensificar as articulações para retomada das discussões em torno da Rodada Doha.
Para Lula, essa é uma “tarefa inadiável” dos países em desenvolvimento. “[A retomada da Rodada Doha] nos ajudará a corrigir anomalias existentes no comércio internacional”.
Os três presidentes fizeram questão de demonstrar sintonia em temas como a reforma do Conselho de Segurança das Nações Unidas e sobre necessidade de reduzir a emissão de gases causadores do efeito estufa.
Ao final da reunião, Lula entregou aos presidentes da África do Sul e Índia um exemplar do livro Relações de Gênero Sob uma Abordagem Feminista Sul-Sul, elaborado pela Secretaria Especial de Política para as Mulheres. "Esse livro é para o presidente Sing e para o presidente Zuma lerem na viagem de volta aos seus países e não esqueceram nunca mais o compromisso com as mulheres dos nossos países".
A próxima cúpula de chefes de Estado do Ibas será realizada em outubro de 2011, na África do Sul.

Re: Brasil, Índia e África do Sul fecham acordo para fabricação
Olá amigos!
Vejam a matéria e o vídeo em inglês abaixo relacionado com os satélites do Programa IBAS. Essa matéria do site “Enineering News Online” parece demonstrar o grande significado que este programa de satélite trilateral tem para o país sul-africano. A matéria apresenta maiores informações que as notícias divulgadas no Brasil e na Índia sobre este programa de satélites. Como por exemplo, ambos os satélites serão lançados por foguetes Indianos, a plataforma do primeiro satélite (o satélite climático) será de origem sul-africana e a maioria dos equipamentos montados nesta plataforma serão de origem brasileira, que este satélite deverá ser lançado em dois anos e o segundo satélite (o satélite de observação da terra) em quatro anos e outras coisas a mais. Não quero jogar água na aparente empolgação de nossos amigos sul-africanos, mas se esse programa fosse realizado bi-lateralmente com os indianos as chances de esses prazos serem cumpridos aumentavam muito, pois do jeito que o programa espacial é conduzido no Brasil, dificilmente esses prazos serão cumpridos. Tome como exemplo amigos o exitoso “Programa CBERS” fruto de um acordo assinado com os chineses em 06 de Julho de 1988 que só veio a lançar o seu primeiro satélite em 14 de outubro de 1999, ou seja, mais de 11 anos depois. Só lembrando que a média mundial é 5 anos. Assim é o Brasil. Estou errado? Me cobrem se estiver.

At the conclusion of the fourth India Brazil South Africa Dialogue Forum (Ibsa) summit in Brasília on Thursday, the leaders of the three countries – South African President Jacob Zuma, Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva – announced that they had agreed to set up a trilateral satellite programme.
The programme will involve two satellites, one for Earth observation and the other for space weather and climate studies. As yet, no budget for the programme has been released.
The space weather satellite will be the first to be built and is planned to be ready for launch two years from now.
It looks as if South Africa will provide the satellite bus for this spacecraft. The bus is the term given to the basic spacecraft – that is, the structure and the control, navigation, communications and power systems – on which the actual observation imagers and systems, experiments, transponders, etc. (depending on the type of satellite) are mounted. But most of the instruments to be mounted on the bus will be provided by Brazil.
The Earth observation satellite should follow two years after the space weather satellite – in other words, four years from now – and is likely – although this is not yet confirmed – to carry South Africa’s MSMI imager, developed by Stellenbosch-based Sun Space & Information Systems (SunSpace) in cooperation with the Catholic University of Leuven in Belgium.
Both satellites will be launched by India, the only one of the Ibsa countries to have the capability to launch satellites at the moment.
Speaking on behalf of the three leaders, President Lula da Silva remarked that “they [the satellites] will benefit the Ibsa countries and other friendly countries, providing more effect in matters of agriculture, transport and telecommunications. It is a project symbolic of the new stage in our partnership."
President Zuma enthused that "South Africa is especially excited with the Ibsa satellite proposal. We see this initiative as an opportunity to reinforce our shared development objectives. A joint satellite could lend support to areas like agriculture, education, energy and health information and communications”.

South African Technology Key to IBSA Satellite Programme
By: Keith Campbell
30th April 2010
Edited by: Martin Zhuwakinyu
South Africa will provide the satellite bus for the first – indeed, probably for both – of the satellites in the recently announced India Brazil South Africa Dialogue Forum (Ibsa) satellite programme. The bus is the term given to the basic spacecraft – that is, the structure and the control, navigation, communications and power systems – on which the actual observation imagers and systems, experiments, transponders, and so on (depend- ing on the type of satellite) are mounted.
“Brazil sees South Africa as an expert in microsatellites,” reveals Stellenbosch Univer-sity electronic engineering professor and South African Ibsa satellite working group member Herman Steyn. “India has big satellites and satellite launch vehicles (SLVs – satellite launching rockets). In principle, it has been agreed that Ibsa satellites will be smaller and cheaper and so more affordable.” Brazilian experience is also with larger satellites and the country is still seeking to develop its own SLV.
The first of the two satellites will be a scientific craft, aimed at studying space weather, while the second will be an earth observation satellite. The aim is to launch the space weather craft two years from now, followed by the earth observation craft two years after that, or four years from now. Both will be launched by India.
“The Ibsa programme will not get in the way of our own satellite programme,” assures South African National Space Agency acting CEO Dr Sandile Malinga. “This [Ibsa] programme will be run in parallel with our programme.” Over the next few years, South Africa is planning at least one earth observation microsatellite as part of the African resource management constellation programme, now being developed with several other African countries, in addition to the Ibsa satellites.
Space weather is the term given to processes and conditions existing in space which can affect the near-earth environment. These include fluctuations in the solar wind, solar flares, coronal mass ejections (from the sun’s corona), changes in the interplanetary magnetic field and perturbations in the earth’s magnetic field.
“Space weather influences earth weather as well as affecting satellites,” points out Steyn. “The space weather satellite will especially study space weather over the South Atlantic. There is a region there which experiences high levels of solar radiation.”
Although South Africa will build the bus, most of the instruments which it will carry will come from Brazil, which is driving this part of the programme. Still, developing and building this satellite will benefit human capital development and technological development in South Africa.
Further, this country is already involved in space weather observation and research, the Hermanus Magnetic Observatory being this country’s space weather warning centre. “The planned space weather satellite will greatly strengthen our position regarding space weather and will greatly increase our scientific knowledge,” affirms Malinga.
However, South Africa is more interested in the earth observation satellite. This is in part because the country hopes that this will be fitted with the multispectral microsatellite imager (MSMI), developed by Stellenbosch-based Sun Space & Information Systems (SunSpace) in cooperation with the Catholic University of Leuven, in Belgium.
“This is a combination of a hyperspectral (very narrow band) camera and a multispectral (broad band) camera,” explains Steyn, who is also a consultant to SunSpace. “It has a higher resolution than the imager carried on SumbandilaSat.” “The use of the MSMI is not guaranteed yet, but it is a strong possibility,” adds Malinga.
The creation of the Ibsa satellite programme was announced at the conclusion of the fourth Ibsa summit in Brasília on April 15 by the leaders of the three countries – South African President Jacob Zuma, Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Speaking on behalf of the three leaders, Lula da Silva remarked: “[The satellites] will benefit the Ibsa countries and other friendly countries, providing more effect in matters of agriculture, transport and telecommunications.
