American tycoon Elon Musk, owner of Tesla, expressed his interest in using the Brazilian space center of Alcántara as a base to launch his company’s rockets SpaceX, said the Minister of Infrastructure of BrazilMarcelo Sampaio.
The Alcántara Launch Center is located in the Amazonian state of Maranhao, close to the Atlantic Ocean and in a region of low population density a few kilometers from the equator, conditions that allow it to offer great advantages to anyone interested in placing satellites in space.
Due to its strategic geographical position, just 2 degrees south of the equator and closer to the geostationary orbit, the Brazilian base guarantees savings of around 30% in the fuel used for launches.
