Less than a decade ago, Paraguay joined the group of Latin America’s countries possessing a national space sector. Although in its infancy, Paraguay’s space activities have gradually increased in the last years, especially after the creation of a national space agency and the adoption of an institutional plan in the field. The present chapter describes the current state of Paraguay’s space sector, focusing on the following issues: the institutional and legal framework of Paraguay’s space activities, the space cooperation programs adopted by Paraguay and other international partners, Paraguay’s satellite capacities and space technology development, and the capacity building and outreach of Paraguay’s space sector.
