THE SIMÓN BOLÍVAR SATELLITE BENEFITS MORE THAN 3 MILLON

PEOPLE.
Caracas, 29 Oct. AVN.- Voice and data services that previously could not
reach all inhabitants of far-Pung towns like Curiapo and San Francisco de Guayo
in Delta Amacuro state or El Yagual in the border state of Apure, are now
guaranteed by the wide signal of the Simon Bolivar satellite, through which 3
million 699 thousand Venezuelans are connected.
Reaching isolated areas of national territory gave rise to the idea of

launching into space the 8rst Venezuelan satellite, a 4-year device in orbit whose
major achievement has been the transfer of technology to people in places where
making a telephone call or sur8ng the Internet was never believed possible.
The Simon Bolivar satellite was put in orbit on 29 October 2008 to

democratize access to telecommunications, technology, education and science,
especially in far-Pung places of the country where reception is impossible.
This spatial device, operated by talented Venezuelans, arose from the

agreement between the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and the People's
Republic of China through the VENESAT-1 project.
Venezuela's Minister of Science and Technology Jorge Arreaza informed a

few days ago that Venezuela has to date 5,927 satellite dishes, 1,985 of which are

in educational centers, 826 in Bolivarian Centers of Informatics and Telematics as
well as in centers of communal management.
There are other 617 satellite dishes working in public Internet centers
named Info centers, 485 in health facilities, 181 in border controls, 131 in food
markets (Mercal), 60 in the state oil company Petroleos de Venezuela (PDVSA),
52 in the Venezuelan food producer and distributor (PDVAL) and 32 in stations of
FUNVISIS (Venezuelan Foundation for Seismic Research).
Satellite Monitoring.
The Simón Bolívar satellite platform is integrated into the National

Telephone Company's network of terrestrial telecommunications and contributes to
the development of social programs such as tele-education, telephony, and
Internet as well as FUNVISIS research projects.
Besides, a network of 35 seismic stations (with 24- hours satellite

connection) operates in the country to monitor any telluric movement in Venezuela.
The Simón Bolívar spacecraft is run and controlled in the national territory
by a team of Venezuelan experts belonging to the Bolivarian Agency for Space
Activities (ABAE). The main control earth station is located in the Aerospace Base
Capitán Manuel Ríos (Bamari), in the central state of Guárico whereas the backup
earth station is located in Luepa, Bolívar State.
The satellite project began on 1 November 2005 when an agreement with

China was signed to develop this device which would open the way towards the
technological independence of the country.
100 per cent efficient use.
This 100 per cent ekcient satellite uses more than 5 thousand dishes to
cover seven major areas: 3,500 dishes for education; 160 for security and defense,
among other radars helping safeguard domestic airspace, 131 for border
protection, 127 for energy and oil, 1,143 for food, 200 for communications and 350
for health, Vice Minister of Telecommunications said.
Another great contribution is the training of human talent, with a total of 90

experts trained to operate this spatial device.
Since 2008, 2,027 Venezuelan professionals graduated from national

universities in disciplines such as physics, chemistry, biology, telecommunications
and systems engineering, information technology, geology, geography,
cartography, among others, have been trained in science and space technology.

C.I: V-30.268.081
Venezuela celebrates its 4th year of technological independence on
Monday, through the placement of this device in orbit which opened possibilities for
the most isolated communities of the country to join telecommunication services.
1. Please 8nd the answers to the following questions.
a). When did this satellite project begin?
Answer: The satellite project began on 1 November 2005 when an

agreement with China was signed to develop this device which would open the
way towards the technological independence of the country.
b). When was the Simon Bolivar satellite put in orbit?
Answer: on October 29, 2008 by placing the Simón BolÍvar satellite in orbit.
c). What does the Simon Bolivar satellite guarantee today?
Answer: This satellite gives us independence in terms of telephone and

internet communications, in addition to providing educational centers, hospitals and
state institutions with the communications necessary to function such as the
internet, television and telephony.
d). Which countries are integrating the Simon Bolivar satellite platform?
Answer: Cuba, Venezuela and china.
e). Where are the main control earth station and backup earth station
located?
Answer: The main control earth station is located in the Aerospace Base
Capitán Manuel Ríos (Bamari), in the central state of Guárico whereas the backup
earth station is located in Luepa, Bolívar State.
f). How many satellite dishes does Venezuela have?
Answer: There are other 617 satellite dishes working in public Internet
centers named Infocenters, 485 in health facilities, 181 in border controls, 131 in
food markets (Mercal), 60 in the state oil company Petroleos de Venezuela
(PDVSA), 52 in the Venezuelan food producer and distributor (PDVAL) and 32 in
stations of FUNVISIS (Venezuelan Foundation for Seismic Research).

C.I: V-30.268.081
g). Is this Satellite helpful for monitoring any telluric movement in
Venezuela? Why?
Answer: There are 35 seismic stations (with 24-hour satellite connection)

operating in the country to monitor any telluric movement in Venezuela. It is
important because it can be seen in real time if there is any incident or movement
on earth and in our geographical space.
h). What has its major achievement been till now?
Answer: I consider that the greatest achievement we have obtained is

technological independence, we are one of the few countries in Latin America that
has its own satellites.
i). What is the main bene8t of having this Venezuelan satellite?
Answer: Technologically benefits our country at the level of internet and

telephony, gives us independence and allows us to technologically control our
space and territory.
