Communication
Brazil has five telecommunication satellites in space. Any Brazilian can watch television – either public or private – from any point in the country. This includes programs those dedicated to many school levels – TV Escola of the Ministry of Education, Telecurso of The Roberto Marinho Foundation / FIESP. In the Telemedicine we are still progressing, but hospitals like Sarah Kubistschek already offer equipment for videoconference, discussions, consultations, remote support of surgeries and even transmission of X-Ray pictures.
Brazil has developed the SCD-1 and SCD-2 satellites that provide environmental and meteorological data to more than 70 national institutions.
