Scientific paper

Astrophysics is the activity of the National Institute for Space Research - INPE - and that term could more directly characterize the Institute. After all, its object of study is space, comprising the most distant borders that can be glimpsed by human beings, in either time or space. Historically, the origin of astrophysics research at the INPE is linked to the development of space science at the Institute. Space science was the area of research from which the INPE originated. Initially, the objective was to study the Earth's neighbors in space. Later on, this field of study was broadened to include outer space. For that reason, there was a need to develop tools that would make observations in space by means of balloons, rockets and satellites, since Earth's atmosphere absorbs a large part of the signals that come from space.
