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

Cambodia has started digging a nearly 180-kilometer canal to connect the Mekong River directly to the sea and reduce its dependence on the ports of neighboring Vietnam.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

The end of Nokia: the brand that was the cellphone of an entire generation has ended its smartphones, left Brazil, and today survives only in basic phones in India while seeking a new partner.

SpaceX will dock a $843 million vehicle to the International Space Station to push a nearly 420-ton laboratory against the atmosphere and make the debris fall in a controlled manner into the ocean.

China has put millions of electric cars on the roads, but now faces the side effect: more than 1 million tons of batteries are expected to go out of use per year by 2030, while the government expands tracking and combats illegal dismantling with environmental risks.

An Indonesian fisherman pulls a mysterious object from the sea and discovers that it is a Chinese underwater monitoring system, part of the so-called Underwater Great Wall that Beijing uses to track submarines and unmanned vehicles in strategic straits of the region.

Stellantis renews Berlingo and Partner after years of waiting and brings Spanish vans to Argentina with a 1.6 HDI engine, 865 kg load capacity, and more technology for merchants who needed modern vans without losing robustness in daily work.

A war machine of over 10,000 tons, capable of destroying entire cities, cannot simply become scrap, and dismantling a retired nuclear submarine has become one of the most dangerous industrial operations on the planet, with radioactive reactors that need to be buried for centuries.

As electric cars advance worldwide, a report by the International Energy Agency predicts 23 million sales in 2026, and Brazil sets a record with electrified vehicles already occupying 16% of the market.

Labor shortage concerns return to Canada: retirements are already removing 25,500 workers per month from the market, and the country may face a lack of workers again even with unemployment still high.

In Brazil, fishermen become “cleaners” of the mangroves and remove 46 tons of trash in an attempt to revive natural nurseries suffocated by plastic, tires, sofas, and more than 1 million discarded items in the bays of Guanabara and Sepetiba.
