Scrapes the Brazilian Space Agency (AEB — Agência Espacial Brasileira) official programme pages for active and historical Brazilian space missions. Extracts structured mission records covering satellites, Earth observation platforms, communications satellites, and launch vehicles.
What this actor does
Crawls two authoritative AEB pages on www.gov.br:
/acoes-e-programas/aplicacoes-espaciais/satelites/satelites— satellite missions (CBERS series, Amazonia-1, SCD-1/2, SGDC, Serpens)/acoes-e-programas/aplicacoes-espaciais/transporte-espacial— launch vehicle programme (VLM-1)
Each page is parsed using custom cheerio extraction that identifies mission blocks from <h2> headings and <p><strong> patterns in AEB's Plone CMS richtext tiles. Regex-based extractors normalise launch date, launch vehicle, launch site, orbit type, partner agencies, and operational status.
