China, Ukraine, the United States and Russia will participate in a new phase of satellite launching at Brazil's Alcantara launch center, Chairman of the Brazilian Space Agency, Sergioi Gaudenzi, said last Wednesday (July 28).
In an interview with the National Radio of Amazonia, Gaudenzi said that the cleaning of the debris resulting from the rocket explosion that killed 21 civilians on Aug. 22, 2003 will soon be completed in Alcantara.

The first launching of satellites is set for 2006, through the lift-off of a Satellite-Launching Vehicle (VLS) with a capacity "for lighter cargo."
