The modern astronomy developments and its implications in cultural, scientific and technological contemporary world have raised the necessity of creating an astronomical observatory equipped with computer, electronics and astronomical new technology for the use and benefits of Central Americans as an option to contribute to strength essential aspects of their lives and to reduce the gap with industrialized countries. In this paper we present a project which contains the basis for the establishment of this astronomical center, and we describe the whole process required to choose the place for the observatory after site testing; the designs and construction of the observational system and its electronic and computer accessories, as those of the buildings and access too; the training of Central American scientists and technicians in basic space and astronomical sciences in Central American territories, and the provision of basic astronomical services to these countries. The financial support as well as the operation of this research center itself are considered in terms of permanent international cooperation to maintain: a critical mass of astronomers in continual scientific production in the region, a place where the international scientist community may attend to make his observations, and an infrastructure through which Central American countries could arrive and remain in the Spatial Era to participate in regional astronomical and space programs.
