[Music]
good
good morning besides breaking paradigms
I believe that I have to break the
dialogue today first thank you
very much the organization of the incae by
allow us to come here to talk not
only our dreams but in
our purpose
when they told me that I was the first
person who was going to exhibit
I thought I had to be an intern more
active but then I reminded myself that
still the effect the coffee is
working then I have the whole world
wake up is a great thing
I want to talk today by the way I do not
I had seen the previous talk and I
I’m also going to talk about it because I
I ‘m going to talk about why we
we create an engineering laboratory
space
here in costa rica it turns out that the area of
space engineering
formally it is one of the areas of greatest
added value that exists in the air
industrial truth and when doing
an area of great added value in a
country as costa rica we have the notion
that we have to start looking
areas where we do not compete for costs
because we are already very expensive but
where we compete for capacity is true
but the space engineering area
besides being a high value area
added has something very special that is
the same thing for which kids
like to read the dinosaur book see
about animals or think about the last
border is that it inspires not only
inspire people
Why does mom have high added value
but because it makes people dream with
the stars and therefore we can
take advantage of the best of people
when we work in an area like this
but in addition to space engineering has
something special
here in costa rica that if you are
as I from the generation of children that
born in the eighties and the
ninetys probably already know by
where is the matter going
well, the matter goes for one person
there is the person who probably less
need presentation here in this country
in the last 40 30 years but like this one
It’s a pretty Latin American place
I feel obliged to make a
very fast presentation and a person
that probably deserves more than one
movie
doctor franklin chang díaz is a
Costa Rican went to study at
united states 17 18 years
now after run arrives be with
his doctorate and he always wanted to be
astronaut applied to be an astronaut
they accepted him in the great body in aucas
he flew in seven space missions being
one of the people who has flown the most
space in history
besides it is not satisfied with being
special being astronaut was one of
the few astronauts and I do not think the
only one that had a laboratory
aside where I was developing where
I was developing a plasma engine
the fourth state of matter
looking for how to make trips to
Mars were faster more efficient
let’s say it like that after that he created a
company to continue developing this
engine and that company today
works unfair and in costa rica where
is developing various things
coincidentally one the exhibitors of the
street to talk more about this
Dr. chang company good enough
awesome truth every time what
I say I stay as a side now because
we are trying to break paradigms
that I want to come and shut up in the
first question I would like to ask you
you think they offer the doctor
chang
he is a serious genius
think it over just for a moment
you believe that he is a genius
yes and no
Well I ‘m not the one to say yes
childish is a genius or not but I’m going
to say what I believe I think that
franklin chang is a normal person
more than believing, I want to believe that
they act who is a normal person
you know why I want to believe that because and
this phenomenon occurs a lot in the countries
in development in development
when people are told see if
frank hinchan went to space and the area
high but that is a singularity that
when we see a curve it is 0.01 for
hundred of the people in capacity the
achievements obviously achievements is there
but there is capacity and we are
telling the children when
any reason you take a 60 to a 70 in
a math test and maybe they
like when they have some difficulty and
and tell good news is that this other
boy in the city if he is good
you never do anything and we’re
losing capabilities
we are losing capabilities in this
country instead of telling him franklin chang
is a sample that in costa rica and
capacity and he is not a singularity
there is that capacity and we have to
start learning to exploit the good
just hector cha inspired us
inspired a whole generation and the
result to the inspiration of that
generation is already seeing possible
justly
don franklin and tars chan him his brother
at that time he worked at the company
of them fairies so they decided
give her the possibility of proposing that
is developed in costa rica to a new
generation
then they came with the initiative of
create an association that is called the
Central Association
aeronautics and space so that
they created that situation
the goal was very clear we are going to
promote the aerospace area as a
development tool
but how do we do that, it turns out that
franklin chang has inspired a whole
generation and in all these places is
generation x but don franklin
journal
so we wanted to take advantage
that generation in some way like you
We show that in Costa Rica we have the
ability to do a spatial project
well we got to the chicken problem
and the egg is first the hen or the
egg or I am a scientist I would say
that the game was little eggs first and
the chickens but you understand
what what I want to say all this
oral when you develop in areas
like space engineering
many people will get to tell you
but what is going to develop something if
here in costa rica there is no entity
government does not exist or let’s say a
mini naza one thing if there is no career
in the space there is no structure
you have to create that first to be able
do things yes or no
well it turns out that we decided that
it was better to focus our efforts on
one thing and in such a way that when
we will study trying to move
that effort they were seeing what they are
the obstacles to work
directly on the obstacles
then we say how do we make a
space project
good
let’s do it as we show the world that
Costa Rica is capable of making a project
space
let’s do it then we decided to do
start to work
the first satellite in the area
Central American
how to do that good we take advantage of the
capabilities that franklin inspired and that
they are around the world
myself when I started in this project
I was impressed to see the amount of
Costa Ricans who are in the world
studying this area working on this
area one does not imagine and then by
I put this map to you because I like it
let’s see if I know if I can aim well
today in japan there is in this
moment a masters person and a
doctorate frame hernandez and joseph
reds that are doing the test of this
first satellite and they finished it in
this moment there is another Costa Rican
julio ramírez that is working the
German space agency that did
our communication system for the
satellite there is another Costa Rican johan
carvajal in holland who did work in
the computer on board there is another
Costa Rican in georgia tech to the cold
green he worked in engineering
project systems
also the Costa Ricans who are in
the area without york let’s say it as
franklin chang is working on
houston and costa rica
sandra kofman who has been the
deputy director of a mission to Mars of the
nasa that also costarricense and andrés
mora that you are working on homs in
the nasa were our advisors all
Costa Ricans
they all work in space engineering and
exploited in a single project the
make a satellite of this size
a satellite of 10 x 10 x 10 the only
that we have here that are not
Costa Ricans are the evaluators a
teacher from japan and another teacher from
holland that helped us determine from
independent way
if we were following the
NASA guidelines to work on
space projects
we protect not only we are going to work
a project we are going to work with
first line guidelines
world and we could not have
evaluators of costa rica because that is
how to go to the world cup and put a
Costa Rica umpire who shared
costa rica truth is always going to be
some kind of difference in the way in
which is evaluated albo
when this time put the heart
we told their teachers by
please be hard with us
Believe me they were but we have already
passed each of the stages and you want
what I want to tell you with this
because I said the names of the
people sometimes it ‘s a bit boring
ie a list to know why
what I want to tell you with this is that
this is not a single person
I came to introduce myself today and sometimes it is
as when when a single person who
it was a football team to declare
because they won by 111 in this case
we were quite in fact I forgot
mention that also here in costa rica
we had in their evaluators we were
working ten people from the staff of the
technological institute of costa rica
we had working more than ten
students in this project
we had sponsors and we had the
final many citizens who do not have
the last 70 thousand dollars to be able
complete the satellite project well
we also involve the citizens in
the amount of people
the amount of wills that went
wind when we managed to focus
all the effort in designing an apparatus
of 10 x 10 x 10 that I do not have good to
the hand because this advantage by ready
to be launched into space but with
all your effort we achieve the goal
we were building the satellite
here are some of the presentations
how it was built satellite in the
laboratory and there is the final mine
it’s us four it’s a bit unfair
there should be 40 people there in the
clean room in the area in the area
Frank the coyol here close when
finally we complete all the stages
satellite to be sent to
Japan where will it be
e.press thiago has already been tested I was going to
be thrown into space
May everything go well
June this year
I’m still a little nervous because
I was being pulled by satellite personnel that
talk here believe me we have everything
this we have already managed to break
all the barriers that prevented us
work on the satellite project not
we had trained people we sent to
train people
we brought ot people who want
build other countries
coincidentally that is gomez frame that is
a space engineer that if we do not
we have had the project we lose it and
I always say that Gómez scored is the
first person that we got from
back to costa rica first brain
that we rescued and we are already one but
Now we have to keep working
we have this situation a critical mass
of people who are working in the
draft
in addition an aerospace cluster here in
Costa Rica
we said we have to give support
all this and we started working on the
space systems laboratory
the laboratory of space systems
has the idea of supporting everything
this work in the second and third
project that we have to
unfortunately I can not announce anymore
but also to support the new
generation
here are all the students that
they worked on this project
for example esteban martínez now is
our master of design student
the entire communication system of
satellite catarina varela highlights
she is making her past her project
recording in japan
that satellite in japan completely
completed and we have these people
working on these projects
it turns out that all the countries of the world
they use space technology
all for more poor than you are
those demonstrable
but there are two types of countries that
they create space technology and those that
the purchase
obviously we want to move to
costa rica from one side to the other
It is clearly known which is which is the
side that this stuff
but what is it and I really liked the talk
earlier because it helps me a lot
introduce this concept that is
really what moves us
I will tell you what we have
in the heart
us when we think about why
we create a systems laboratory
space
we know that our generation was
inspired by a Costa Rican and what
we are saying the following
generations
as seen in these guys here is that
when they are at school when they are
at school dreaming of the stars
they know that they will be able to dream of designing
once here in costa rica and that’s what
they do not die thank you very much
