Human Factors
While departing SBGL off of Runway 15 on the BOTOM 1A SID; we got a green laser light coming in from the right side of the cockpit. It hit the First Officer side; but he was not affected negatively from the laser. It appeared green in color and lasted only a few seconds. We did notify SBGL Departure Control of the laser encounter.
On departure from SBGL we were climbing after takeoff from Runway 15 when we were lased with a green light. It was directed at the aircraft. When I saw the initial flash; I looked away and reported to the Captain so as he would not look that way. This occurred approximately 6 miles south and east of SBGL off a point of land. As we approached CARV waypoint from the east on the RNAV 27L approach at SBGR; we were lased again from our 8-9 o'clock position for approximately 10 seconds.
An air carrier flight crew reported being flashed by a laser on departure from SBGL. The First Officer added a report of another laser strike in SBGR.
