Ambitious Project: FAB Plans State-Owned Company for Launches in Alcântara with Possibility of Partnership with SpaceX!

On the night of Wednesday, 27, the Chamber of Deputies authorized the Lula government to create another state-owned company. This is Alada, an aerospace state-owned subsidiary of NAV Brasil, another state-owned air navigation company created by former president Jair Bolsonaro.

The government had no difficulties in approving the project. The bill was approved with 364 favorable votes and 47 against. Now, the project will go to the Senate, where there is optimism for approval without many difficulties.

Objective of the Project

When sending the project to Congress, the government highlighted that Alada will allow for the economic exploitation of aerospace infrastructure and navigation, as well as activities related to the development of projects and equipment in the sector.

In a report presented on Wednesday, Deputy Augusto Coutinho (Republicans-PE) stated that the creation of Alada will not lead to an increase in public spending. According to him, the subsidiary will be the responsibility of NAV Brasil, a state-owned company that operates independently of the National Treasury.

A study by the Institutional Security Office (GSI) pointed to aerospace companies as potential interested parties in the Alcântara Base in Maranhão. Among them are Elon Musk’s SpaceX and Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin. The Brazilian Air Force intends to use Alada to intensify rocket launches in the region.

Since the Dilma Rousseff (PT) government, the Armed Forces have advocated for the creation of a state-owned company to concentrate aerospace activities. The proposal anticipated that the new state-owned company would function as a lessor of land and equipment for space launches. However, it faced resistance due to the possibility of the removal of quilombola communities for the expansion of the base.

In September, Lula (PT) signed an agreement with the quilombola communities of Alcântara, ending 44 years of litigation with the Brazilian Space Program. In 1980, approximately 500 families were expropriated by the Air Force for the establishment of the aerospace base.

Ambitious Project: FAB Plans State-Owned Company for Launches in Alcântara with Possibility of Partnership with SpaceX!

Objective of the Project

While in Brazil a 10-story building takes 2 years to complete, in China a company stacks pre-fabricated modules and raises the entire building in just 28 hours and 45 minutes.

Egypt wants to draw 10 million cubic meters of water from the Nile per day into the desert, irrigate a new agricultural frontier, and build a city where there is currently only sand.

BRICS is preparing a payment system inspired by the Brazilian PIX that will allow direct transactions between countries using national digital currencies without relying on the dollar or Western banks as intermediaries.

Ethiopia has banned gasoline and diesel cars, placed over a hundred silent electric buses on the streets of Addis Ababa, and now aims for half a million electric vehicles by 2030, all powered by Africa’s largest dam and a courage that few countries have shown.

The primate that science has called peaceful for decades has proven to be as aggressive as the chimpanzee in a study with thousands of hours of footage that debunks one of the greatest myths of primatology.

A factory video in India goes viral showing workers wearing helmets with cameras to train an artificial intelligence that will eventually replace these same employees on the production lines.

In the South Atlantic, three isolated volcanic islands cause the wind to draw perfect spirals visible from space: a rare phenomenon called von Kármán vortex streets forms symmetrical patterns behind the peaks of the South Sandwich Islands and was recorded by the NOAA-20 satellite in 2025.

Astronaut loses speech for 20 minutes inside the ISS, triggers the 1st medical evacuation in the station’s history, and reveals a critical NASA bottleneck: in space, advanced exams still depend on returning to Earth.

This engineered wood surprised even the researchers: in addition to capturing solar light during the day, it stores 175 kilojoules per kilogram and continues delivering energy after dark, something that common panels cannot do on their own.

Specialist reveals a simple way to reduce health risks caused by prolonged sitting

This map of the universe took 5 years to build and is already challenging Einstein

After Paraguay, another South American country cuts corporate taxes, reduces the rate from 27% to 23%, and launches a package with over 40 measures to attract investments, generate jobs, and differentiate itself from Brazil in the dispute for competitiveness.

Scientists simulated what would happen if all of Earth’s oceans evaporated — and found the same mark on Mars, suggesting that one-third of the red planet was once covered by water.
