A satellite named after Argentina's World Cup-winning Goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez has been launched by Elon Musk's company SpaceX.

The satellite that's named after Martinez's nickname 'Dibu' was made by Argentina's satellite company Innova Space.

The two new low-orbit Innova Space satellites, 'Dibu Martínez' and 'Juana Azurduy' will join 'General San Martín', the Argentinian company’s first satellite, which was launched last January.

Martinez was one of the heroes of Argentina's FIFA World Cup triumph and was awarded the Golden Glove at the end of the tournament as well.
