Within the framework of (World Space Week), the Military Aviation School “Marco Fidel Suárez” (EMAVI) held EMAVI University Week 2025 under the theme “Exploration with purpose: the challenge of space,” an academic event that reaffirmed the national commitment to innovation, scientific training, and the strengthening of the country’s space capabilities. Over four days, EMAVI brought together more than 700 young members of the academic community from Valle del Cauca, along with representatives from the Colombian Navy, the National Police, the Non-Commissioned Officers School of the Colombian Aerospace Force, and various universities in the region. This space promoted the exchange of knowledge and the presentation of high-impact projects in aerospace engineering, artificial intelligence, and national defense.

In this context, Víctor Manuel Macías Martínez, a final-semester student in Electronic and Telecommunications Engineering at the University of Cauca, who is currently completing his professional internship at the Research and Development Center for Aerospace Technologies (CITAE) of the Colombian Aerospace Force, presented his work entitled “Data Mining for Early Detection of Failures in the GPS of the FACSAT-II Satellite” at the event’s Poster Gallery. In this regard, it is important to note that the FACSAT-II Satellite, currently in orbit, is a 3U Earth observation CubeSat launched in 2023. This satellite represents Colombia’s third satellite and the second under the name of the Colombian Aerospace Force, consolidating the country’s progress in the development and operation of its own space missions focused on Earth observation and environmental management.
