- Abstract
The dissemination of activities and technological advances in space issues is essential, especially in Peru. In Peru, many people think that aerospace technology is only intended for developed countries and that in Peru, one should focus on mining, livestock, agriculture and tourism, which are the main economic activities. However, people need to be made aware that space technology can bring significant advances in activities such as agriculture, livestock, mining or tourism, and there is a total ignorance regarding the applications of space technology for the general public. If the citizens and the population do not agree to invest in spatial development, the government will not be able to invest in said development since the population is the one who chooses the government authorities. In this sense, disseminating the great benefits of space technology in our daily lives is an important task, and for this reason, it is about developing congresses, seminars, talks, fairs, and contests to carry out scientific dissemination tasks on space issues. In this sense, this work tries to summarize and highlight the different initiatives of space scientific dissemination in Peru to join efforts, educate the population and highlight the great advances that one can benefit from thanks to the technology developed to explore the universe as the material of the firefighter's suit, advances in telemedicine, positioning systems, among others. At the same time, the academic events have the objective of bringing together all the actors that participate in the development and promotion of space technology in such a way as to energize this sector with the support of the citizenry, benefiting from citizen science.
