Universidad Alas Peruanas (UAP or Peruvian Wings University) is a university located in Lima, Peru, founded on April 26, 1996, by Joaquin Ramirez thorough an Cooperativa Alas Peruanas, composed of members of the Peruvian Armed Forces. In January 2014, the school launched UAPSat-1, a satellite that monitors the environment outside the earth's atmosphere aboard the Cygnus CRS Orb-1 mission. The creation of the Alas Peruanas University was the idea of Dr. Fidel Ramírez Prado (Doctor of Education from the National University of San Marcos, with specialization courses in Spain, Canada, the United States, Panama, Israel, England and Mexico), who in March 1989 received the support of the delegates of the Alas Peruanas Cooperative General Assembly to proceed with such an ambitious project. After almost seven years and long periods of paperwork, on April 26, 1996, by Resolution No. 102 the creation of the Universidad Alas Peruanas was authorised. Its first Rector was Mr. Fidel Ramírez Prado. The Universidad Alas Peruanas opened on June 1, 1996, with five professional courses in the Jesús María district. At present, it has 20 national branches and 34 professional courses of studies. More information...
