Background

The International Organization of Space Exploration and Technology (IOSET) began as a collaboration between major world space agencies, largely led by the United States, the Soviet Union, India, France, and Argentina. Across the world, IOSET became the preeminent agency responsible for the planning and operation of launch facilities and space and aeronautics research.

Discovery

This transient object's arrival in the Ecuadorian Amazon presented a rare challenge, not only due to rough terrain, but also due to the indigenous Kichwa people who lived in the area, who preferred to remain in isolation.

While notes provided by the Field Recovery Technician were scant, the object was eventually retrieved and cataloged by the Field Studies Institute in December of 1976.
