The president of the Portuguese Space Agency, Ricardo Conde, has stated his ambition to turn Portugal “into a space nation in 2030”, during the Glex Summit in Lisbon.
At the summit, which is part of the celebrations of the fifth centenary of Fernão de Magalhães’ circumnavigation voyage that is marked in 2019, Ricardo Conde said that Portugal is “a nation of explorers” that wants to continue this ambition “from the depths of the oceans to space”.
“We have all the conditions for that: we are an Atlantic nation, rich in territorial terms. Even if most of it is ocean, we must take advantage of this raw material,” he stressed.
