Atomun - Space debris, Brazil's space program and internet access

Welcome to Atomun - TeleSUR's program on science and technology in Latin America, focusing on the human side of science and technology at the service of progress. In this edition the main topics are space debris, Brazil's space program, broadband internet in Brazilian homes and the expansion of internet services. When Russia's Kosmos 1400 Satellite fell to earth last September, it called attention to a drastic increase in space debris. The program warns that even small fragments pose a danger to future missions due to their high velocity. Next, our attention turns to Brazil's space program, the most advanced in Latin America, with constant innovations and special training programs. The country's technological advances extend to broadband infrastructure that contributes to democratizing and expanding the country's internet services. Danny Perez Diaz reports for teleSUR.
