Radio Quito Interview with Andres Carrion about Pegasus (NEE-01) Satellite for Educational Purposes - In Spanish

This radio interview (in Spanish), took place on April 26, 2013,  the day following the launch of Ecuador's first satellite, Pegasus; made possible through the Ecuadorian Civilian Space Agency (EXA).

The purpose of the interview was to share the embedded satellite education taking place in my classroom since piloting "A Satellite in the Classroom" Program in 2009, as well as how Pegasus - with its live camera onboard -  would now be used to implement the second pilot program, titled ASTERIA. The objective of this second program, a collaboration between Academia Cotopaxi and two other Ecuadorian schools, is  to learn how to apply this new technological tool within the classroom, and with the purpose of then sharing this newfound information for the benefit of others.
