This agreement, signed by Mr G Madhavan Nair, Chairman, Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and Mr Luiz Bevilacqua, President, Brazilian Space Agency (AEB), envisages Joint research in space and atmospheric sciences, exchange of proposals for remote sensing applications, launch of a Brazilian micro-satellite for atmospheric studies by India and setting up of a ground station in Brazil for receiving remote sensing data from ISRO's remote sensing satellite, RESOURCESAT-1. It may be recalled that ISRO and AEB signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in March 2002 to provide an umbrella for cooperation between the two countries in the area of space. Several discussions have been held for identifying areas of mutual interest.
