According to the Cimed executive, the company is a sponsor of this project along with several agencies.
The initiative is pioneering among national companies in the sector. The rocket was launched with the goal of crystallizing the Covid-19 protein. The objective is to make discoveries outside of Earth’s orbit and conduct research that brings benefits to the global population.
