In this regard, the Director General of the AEM, Salvador Landeros Ayala, was pleased by the fact that the Aeronautical University of Queretaro (UNAQ) and the Polytechnic University of Queretaro (UPQ), have joined in alliance to this emblematic project, formalizing it by signing an agreement with the AEM.

«We are pleased with the enthusiasm and commitment with which the UNAQ and UPQ have joined the AEM-NASA team in the «AztechSat New Generation» project, in which the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), the Popular Autonomous University of the State of Puebla (UPAEP) and the Panamerican University (UP) are also involved,» he said.
