As of now, the membership of ISECG comprises 26 organisations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> \u201cWe are pleased to welcome our two new members from Mexico and Portugal. ISECG has continued to grow substantially over the past three years. Space agencies consider the work of ISECG meaningful and something that supports their own national priorities. We look forward to working with our new colleagues\u201d, said Dr. Christian Lange, the Head of Exploration Strategic Planning at the Canadian Space Agency, who is the current chair of the ISECG. \u201cThe accession of several new organisations demonstrates the willingness of agencies to engage in focused international strategic exchange and coordination, and to build new strategic partnerships for advancing the implementation of the Global Exploration Strategy.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> The new members expressed their interest and expectations about their engagement in ISECG: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"> Mexican Space Agency (AEM) <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"80\" height=\"51\" src=\"https:\/\/www.globalspaceexploration.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/aem-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1124\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The AEM has three priority\nobjectives: i) identify the perspectives and promote the development of space\ninfrastructure for telecommunications, navigation, global positioning, and\ntheir applications; ii) the development of a comprehensive program of national\nscope for Earth observation; iii) increase capacities and promote cooperation\nin science and technology in space exploration, for the scientific and\ntechnological strengthening of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More information about AEM can be found at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gob.mx\/aem\">https:\/\/www.gob.mx\/aem<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Portugal Space (PTS)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"90\" height=\"25\" src=\"https:\/\/www.globalspaceexploration.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/PTSPACE.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1118\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As the first contributor to\nthe outset of globalisation, Portugal is proud of being accepted as a member of\nISECG, which represents new and stimulating perspectives to international\ncooperation in the field of space exploration. The Portuguese Space Agency,\nestablished in 2019 to promote and strengthen space activities in Portugal, for\nthe benefit of society and economy in the country and worldwide, sees this\nmembership as a great opportunity to deepen its commitment in the field of space\nexploration aiming to strengthen acquired competencies and promote\ninternational scientific cooperation, which is to be complemented with the\nstrengthening of the scientific \u201cmining\u201d of exploration activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More information about PTS\ncan be found at <a href=\"https:\/\/ptspace.pt\/\">https:\/\/ptspace.pt\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Towards the end of 2020, the space agencies of the International Space Exploration Coordination Group (ISECG) welcomed the Mexican Space Agency (AEM)<\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a class=\"myButt \" href=\"https:\/\/www.globalspaceexploration.org\/?p=1128\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1128","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.globalspaceexploration.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1128"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.globalspaceexploration.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.globalspaceexploration.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.globalspaceexploration.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.globalspaceexploration.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1128"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.globalspaceexploration.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1128\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1130,"href":"https:\/\/www.globalspaceexploration.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1128\/revisions\/1130"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.globalspaceexploration.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1128"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.globalspaceexploration.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1128"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.globalspaceexploration.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1128"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
