On November 21, 2013 (at 2:10 AM), Ecuador successfully launched its second satellite from Russia: Krysaor (NEE-02). It was a historic event filled with much excitement and, as the education consultant for the Ecuadorian Civilian Space Agency (EXA), great expectations for our 21st century students in the areas of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Go Ecuador!
