NEE-01 Pegaso, Ecuador's first satellite, launched in 2013 to test video streaming and educational technology demonstrations from orbit. Days after launch, Ecuador's space agency reported a near-collision with debris from a defunct Soviet rocket — a dramatic first-satellite scare for a nation just beginning its space program.
