30 Venezuelan scientists are going to China to begin work on Venezuela's first satellite - the first step on the way to a national space programme.
President Hugo Chavez has earmarked around £287million to get the space agency off the ground in 2007.
The scientists will be joined by another 60 next year to build the satellite along with China.
Venezuela's government hopes to use it to broadcast many of its own radio and TV programmes throughout Latin America.
The Simon Bolivar satellite, named after the Venezuelan independence hero, is supposed to be launched into space in July 2008.
Mr Chavez wants the satellite to be blasted into orbit from a Venezuelan launch pad.

The satellite will provide telecommunications services to all parts of Venezuela, including scarcely populated areas that have never been reached by commercial communications firms.
The ministry said the satellite will also help in the early detection of natural disasters and be used to broadcast educational and information programs.
