Radio ham to become new government minister

The amateur radio operator who became the first South American in space is
preparing to advance to a government post when Brazil's new president takes
office.

In 2006, when amateur radio operator *Marcos Pontes PY0AEB *launched
in Kazakhstan for the International Space Station, he became the first
South American in space. Now the Brazilian Air Force lieutenant colonel is
poised to become that nation’s science and technology minister.

He was confirmed for the post by Brazil’s president-elect Jair Bolsonaro,
who will take office on January 1st.
