             abstract = "The initial activities an space education began right after World 
                         War II, in the early 1950s, when USA and USSR started the Space 
                         Race. At That time, Space education was only and exclusively 
                         available to researchers and technicians working directly in space 
                         programs. This new area was restricted only to post-graduate 
                         programs (basically master and doctoral degree)or to very specific 
                         training programs dedicated for beginners. In, South America, at 
                         that time there was no kind of activity on space education, simply 
                         because there was no activity in space research. In the beginning 
                         of the 1970s, Brazil, through INPE, had created masteral and 
                         doctoral courses on several space areas such as remote sensing and 
                         meteorology. Only in the mid-1980s did Brazil, after a UN request, 
                         create its specialisation course on remote sensing dedicated to 
                         Latin American professionals. At the same period, the Agustin 
                         Codazzi Institute (Bogota, Colombia)began to offer specialisation 
                         courses in remote sensing. In South America, educational space 
                         programs are currently being created for elementary and high 
                         schools and universities, but the author personally estimates that 
                         90 of these educational programs still make use traditional 
                         educational materials - such as books, tutorial, maps and 
                         graphics. There is little educational material that uses 
                         multimedia resources, advanced computing or communication methods 
                         and, basically, these are the materils that ane best suited to
