President Correa confirmed the 'satellite is Ecuadorian'
Ecuador will launch its first satellite into space from China in two weeks, President Rafael Correa announced Saturday.
"It's not a satellite bought in another country, it's a satellite
made in Ecuador," Correa said proudly during his weekly address of the homegrown engineering team.
The "Pegaso" (pegasus) nanosatellite will be launched from China aboard an unmanned rocket at 0513 GMT on April 26.
Measuring just 10 by 10 by 75 centimeters and weighing 1.2 kilograms, Pegaso will beam live video images back to Earth from an onboard camera.
The Ecuadoran Space Agency plans a second satellite launch in July.

Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home.
