The History of ESAI
Eventually, ESAI has made a great shift in the history, the Institute was Internationally recognized by the International Cooperation to introduce the potential and feasibility case of the Aerospace Industry and its Market in El Salvador. In 2016, as a result of such effort together with the International Community, ESAI established a Small Groups of Professional Salvadorans with a great dream of: Creating a National Space Program and demonstrate the country's capacity to breakdown paradigms of challenging the perception such as “El Salvador cannot become a technological nation of development and scientific ground”. Basically, the history of ESAI is a National Destiny; a merely case where Programs, Projects and Activities, all together are interrelated. Our partners trust & denote confidence and support us.
