Excelentíssimo Ministro da República

Clelio Campolina
Diniz

Ministério da
Ciência, Tecnologia e Inovação

70067-900 –
Brasília – DF

São Paulo, 28 de julho de 2014



Excelentíssimo Senhor Ministro,



Recentemente
fomos surpreendidos por uma notícia anunciada na mídia
internacional e nacional (http://blogs.nature.com/news/2014/07/sao-paulo-state-joins-megatelescope.html) de forte repercussão para a
comunidade astronômica brasileira
sobre possíveis negociações do MCTI para dividir os custos de U$ 40 mi do Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT), projeto aprovado
pela FAPESP. A Diretoria da Sociedade Astronômica Brasileira (SAB) foi
questionada sobre estas negociações e, desconhecendo o assunto, contatou
pesquisadores e lideranças das principais Unidades de Pesquisa do MCTI (LNA,
ON, INPE), mas infelizmente estes também desconheciam o teor do acordo e a
situação do mesmo.



Embora não restem dúvidas quanto aos benefícios que a
adesão a este telescópio trará aos pesquisadores do Estado de São Paulo, alertamos
que este assunto não foi discutido em nível nacional e suas implicações
aferidas pelos astrônomos brasileiros dentro de um Plano Nacional de Astronomia.
Durante a XXXVIII Reunião Anual da SAB, promoveremos uma Mesa Redonda sobre os
Grandes Telescópios, a realizar-se às 19 h em 1o de setembro de 2014
no Hotel Atlântico, em Armação de Búzios, RJ. Gostaríamos de convidar V.Ex.a
para participar desta mesa redonda. Antecipamos que um total de 300 astrônomos profissionais
participarão desta reunião.



Como é do conhecimento de V.Ex.a, o acordo
de adesão do Brasil à Organização Europeia de Pesquisa Astronômica no
Hemisfério Austral (ESO, European
Southern Observatory), foi um projeto amplamente discutido em nível nacional
e apoiado por mais de 80% da comunidade astronômica brasileira. Entretanto este
projeto, com pleno apoio do MCTI desde 2010, &nbsp;se encontra no
congresso desde fevereiro de 2013 aguardando ratificação. 



No intuito de impulsionar este processo, em 4 de
junho, houve uma reunião de representantes da SAB com a Secretária Executiva do
MPOG, Eva Maria Dal Chiavon, Dep. Jorge Bittar (PT-RJ) e Hudson Mendonça (MCTI).
Nesta reunião decidiu-se que o MCTI prepararia uma contra proposta para uma
renegociação do valor do acordo ESO, considerado alto pelo MPOG. Porém até o
presente momento, ainda não tivemos notícias sobre o andamento das negociações,
sobre as quais aproveito para indagar a respeito. 



Coloco-me novamente à disposição e muito nos honraria
a possibilidade de aprofundar essa série de argumentos com V.Exa.,
em ocasião de sua conveniência.





Certa de poder contar com a sua colaboração, agradeço
a atenção e subscrevo-me cordialmente,



Adriana Válio

Presidente

Sociedade Astronômica Brasileira
