Welcome to the National Page for Venezuela!

For all of us the space exploration is more than a hobby, a dream or a fantasy. It is our main goal and represents our passion and inspiration as well, for these and for so many other reasons we want our country to have a new vision for space and its exploration.

We look forward to your help on this long way to skies of up above. If we don't have public support of the things we want to do, and believe to be important, this dream will not survive.

Join us and help us to make this dream a reality.
We look forward to working with you.
