The National Institute for Space Research (Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais, INPE) is a research unit of Brazil's Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation, based in São José dos Campos, São Paulo. Its main work is space and atmospheric science, satellites and weather forecasting, and it traces its origins to a space commission created in 1961. It is in this directory because the IAEA World Survey of Fusion Devices lists it as the operator of ETE (Experimento Tokamak Esférico), a small spherical tokamak recorded there as operating.
