The information published on Wednesday by SpaceNews and reproduced yesterday by Agenda Malvinas , that the American satellite tracking company, LeoLabs Inc. , formalized a strategic alliance with the United Kingdom Ministry of Defense ; put in crisis the entire denialist strategy orchestrated by the governor of Tierra del Fuego and his cabinet, in search of not admitting that the earth station or radar in the Estancia El Relincho de Tolhuin , constitutes - as certified by the Ministry of Defense of the Nation and all organizations in the field of space science in Argentina-; “a violation of national security.”

The statements from the company itself that the governor defended so much left him hanging . The global radarization system that LeoLabs uses to provide spatial information in the lower atmosphere also has the capacity to perform military intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance.

And now in an attempt to get out of the web that he himself built, Melella had no choice but to announce that he will announce the “urgent withdrawal of the company” subsidiary of British and Irish companies, whose representative is none other than Pablo Renan Bilbao , son-in-law of the former national representative of his party (FORJA), Mabel Caparros , who left the bench at the end of 2023.

In a post published at 5:15 p.m. this Friday on his X account, Melella wrote: “Leolabs has announced its work together with the United Kingdom Space Command, explaining the military role that the technology they have developed can fulfill (…) For this reason is that we will not allow a new attempt at British expansion over our territory and "We will inform the urgent withdrawal of the company from our province."

Leolabs has announced its work with the United Kingdom Space Command, explaining the military role
that the technology they have developed can fulfill.
