Only a few days ago we co-organized with the Italian Embassy an event for the Italian National Space day. Four groups of young students presented their projects for the CANsat (satellites the size of a can shot in the atmosphere with a small rocket, and performing simple task on their descent) and CUBEsat (modular satellites of 1 to 6 liters in volume to be launched in orbit) projects. CANsat groups were from Kaiserin Friedrich Gymnasium in Bad Homburg, and from the Accademia Aeronautica Italiana in Naples, while CUBEsat groups came from the University of Padova and Politecnico Milan. After the presentations, journalist Isabella Bufacchi coordinated a panel discussion on space economy and defense and military uses of space. You can find an audio-only “video” of the event on SIGN’s YouTube channel playlists.
