Resumen

The purpose of this paper is to generalize an example of Sato of a free group of rotations of the Euclidean 3-space whose action on the rational unit sphere is fixed point free. Such groups are of interest, as they can be employed to construct paradoxical decompositions of spheres without assuming the Axiom of Choice.
