Ronnie Nader Bello was born in Guayaquil, Ecuador July 10 1967. at the age of 13 started studies of nuclear physics on its own and within three years won first prize in the physics category of the first  national scholastic contest, capturing first prize again the following year. In 1984 commenced studies in astrophysics, graduating first in his high school class of 1986.In 1987 starts pioneering research in artificial intelligence in Ecuador, He graduated with an MS in systems engineering MCL in 1994 from the Universidad Catolica Santiago de Guayaquil, where he was the director of the campus computer lab until 1995, the same year he started his specialization in Cybernetics in the PCP Project, also in 1995, began research in Astrobiology.

Completed the TERC astrobiology teaching certification course in 2004, In 2006 started the development of the ‘Ecuador al Espacio’ Project, (Project ESAA) a privately funded astronautics initiative, aimed to start the Ecuadorian Civilian Space Program, the first civilian, non-governmental space program in history aimed to explore and help the development of the suborbital space, with the main emphasis in taking scientific experiments made by educational institutions at no cost for them, in order to help raise interest in science and to awake consciousness of the benefits for Ecuador in exploiting the suborbital and GEO resource.

In 2007 the project is recognized by the General Command of the Ecuadorian Air Force (FAE) as the first Ecuadorian initiative in astronautics in the history of the country and he as the first Ecuadorian astronaut candidate.

On June 8 2007 Ronnie Nader becomes officially the first Ecuadorian astronaut in history when completed the ASA/T (Advanced Suborbital Astronaut /Trained) training program designed on the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center on Moscow, Russia.

During the ASA/T training he imposes some new records, a high gravity tolerance record of 8.6 G's on the Nizhny Novogorod air base, during a training flight on the MiG-29UB jet fighter, added to the fact of flying at 21 kms. at an speed of 2734 km/h (Mach 2.4) during  MiG-31E stratospheric training, turns him into the Ecuadorian citizen that has endured more gravity, flown higher and faster, accordingly to the Ecuadorian Air Force (FAE) records. He was also excused from the course of Orbital Mechanics during ASA/T training because he could prove to his instructors that his knowledge level in this science was far superior that the requirements of the program.

In August 29 2007 publishes the Ecuadorian Civilian Space Program first and to date only space program in the world to be managed and operated by an NGO, at the same time he announces the creation of the EXA, the Ecuadorian Civilian Space Agency, the first space agency in the history of Ecuador.

In October 4th 2007 mans the first aerospace exercise on Ecuador's aeronautics history, executing a simulation of suborbital jump on board of a Mirage F1JE of the Ecuadorian Air Force, manning the mission specialist post on board the plane and reaching 6.1 G's.

On October 12 2007 he is awarded the 'Example for Youth' medal by the Ecuadorian government.

On November 15 2007 proposes to FAE the project DAEDALUS, a scientific project of his conception that will give the first Latin-American microgravity plane to Ecuador, positioning the country as third in the world after the US and Russia in acquiring this technology by its own means and resources.

On April 10 2008 flies at the command of the first aerospace research mission in Ecuadorian history, the EXA/FAE-01, designed to capture microgravity flight parameters using a device of its design and making, the MGCP-MK3 on board of the Mirage F1JE and achieving microgravity for 301 seconds. This is the first mission of project DAEDALUS, EXA and FAE grants him the position of Aerospace Mission Commander -CMAE-

On May 6 2008 flies at the command of the second aerospace research mission  the EXA/FAE-02 onboard of the Sabreliner T-39 of FAE, achieving for Ecuador, alongside the Ecuadorian Air Force, the first Latin-American microgravity plane. the plane is then rechristened Fuerza-G Uno Cóndor

On June 19th 2008, flying at the Scientific Mission Command of the EXA/FAE-06 Aerospace mission, achieves for Ecuador the first world record, certified by Guinness^TM of the Youngest Human Being in Microgravity, when a fluid dynamics scientific experiment is performed on board by his sons, Gerard (10) and Jules (7) this last one now holds the record in the name of Ecuador, this was possible due the development of an special training program called  YMTP developed by Nader for this project.

On October 22 2008, EXA publishes the HIPERION report, proving the depletion of the ozone layer over the equatorial region of the planet, and also verifying that extreme levels of UV radiation are reaching Ecuadorian, Peruvian and Colombian territory, Nader was the head of the project HIPERION and designed the HIPERION Reactive Alert Network, which provides protection to more than 4 million ecuadorians by the means of providing them accurate and real time information about UV levels for them to take action immediately, such network is the first in the country's history and up to date the most technologically advanced in the region.

On September 8 2009, EXA announces the existence of PROJECT HERMES, the first Internet-to-Orbit gateway, during the Small Satellites for Sustainable Developement symposium organized byt the UNOOSA, the European Space Agency and the Austrian Government: Ronnie Nader, the father and designer of the system is invited then to demonstrate its use and to train scientists and engineers of 34 countries in its use for the benefit of mankind all, which is done successfully 2 days later, on September 10. This becomes the first time that an Ecuadorian project is entitled with such importance by the international astronautical community.

In November 2009, EXA launches the A SATELLITE IN CLASSROOM program, a world-class pioneering program that allows a simple desktop computer to be turn into a virtual ground station for downloading real time images from the NOAA meteorological satellites and to be put in the classrooms, for students of 6 years old an up, giving them the opportunity to gain a unprecedented level of contact with 21st century technology and to inspire in them the interest in sciences. The system was designed and built by Nader from the grounds of the DELTA operation mode of Project HERMES.

On March 25 2010, he is presented with the prestigious Global Citizenship Award granted every year by the board of Trustees of Academia Cotopaxi after a rigorous selection to persons who have impacted their communities and mankind all with their work. past winners includes an ex-president and many prominent social activists.

On April 2010, proposes the project PEGASUS, the building of the first Ecuadorian satellite to the EXA Directorate, which is approved and put under his control. He promises to deliver the satellite within a year.

On November 2010 he was selected for the Hall of Fame of Lebanese descendants that have contributed to the progress of Ecuador by the Lebanese Consulate in Quito.

On April 2011, a year after the project approval, he delivers the fully functional and flight-ready NEE-01 PEGASUS, the first Ecuadorian satellite to the EXA Directorate, who presents it to the world on April 4, 2011.

On May 13, 2011 the National Assembly taps him to receive the VICENTE ROCAFUERTE Medal for Scientific Merit in name of the EXA, this is the highest national honor that is only bestowed for exceptional scientific work in benefit of the country. It has only been granted 4 times in Ecuadorian history.

On May 12, 2012 The Catholic University of Guayaquil, his alma mater, reaching 50 years of existence, selects him to join the wall of the 50 best professionals ever produced by the institution, representing all the alumni that graduated in 1994.

On August 2012 delivers the second Ecuadorian made satellite, the NEE-02 KRYSAOR.

On October 30 the EXA receives the SCIENTIFIC MERIT Award from the M.I. Municipality of Samborondon, the home town were the NEE-01 and NEE-02 satellites were created, Ronnie Nader receives the award from the hands of the city Mayor in the name of EXA.

On February 28, 2013, leading the team that traveled to Netherlands with the NEE-01 and NEE-02 satellites for testing and space flight certification in the ISIS/ISL labs, receives the Space Flight Certification for both satellites from the ISIS/ISL Director, confirming that the satellites he built and designed are accepted for spaceflight in Chinese and Russians launch vehicles.

On April 25, 2013 at 23h13 local time, onboard a LM2D rocket taking off from the JiuQuan Cosmodrome the NEE-01 PEGASO launches into space, 13 minutes later is injected into orbit and more than 4 hours later a radio amateur relays the first signal to CCVE ground control in Guayaquil, The National Government transmits the launching operation in national TV and the President sits in the CCVE ground control, commanding the mission is Cmdr. Ronnie Nader who declares mission success at 23h27 with the historic words "Welcome to the sky PEGASO, Welcome to space Ecuador"

On May 16, 2013 at 10h39 local time, from the Space flight Control Center in Samborondon the first public live video feed from NEE-01 PEGASUS is received and injected into the Internet, the mission director, Cmdr. Ronnie Nader, establishes the link with the satellite and receives it with the words "Welcome home PEGASO"
