LEXICON: a new improved technology from the Apollo Mission
Are you curious about lunar exploration and possible lunar human settlements? Well, take a look at the LEXICON project!
Polispace principles
PoliSpace is the first space association of Politecnico di Milano.
Its main objective is to fill the gap between industry and academia in Italy. The strategy adopted is: propose, endorse and supervise students space-related projects spread the aerospace culture with a global perspective provide students with internship and job opportunities through a network of companies.
PoliSpace is currently designing CubeSat to fly at the end of 2023. Another association’s undergrad team presented a Mars Sample Return mission for an AIAA competition. More projects will be developed in the near future.

FAST Project
The FAST team conceived and designed a futuristic engine able to take you from Paris to Tokyo in less than two hours!
The TRINITY engine provides unprecedented travel times, flexibility, and reusability being competitive in today’s economy. It also complies with today’s environmental standards thanks to the use of liquid hydrogen as fuel.
ICE CREAM Mission
To increase our understanding of the chemical makeup of ice deposits on Mars and further humanityhumanity’s goal of being a multi planet species, AIAA American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics has launched a competition to design a cost effective sample return mission to retrieve Mars ice core sample s and ‘I Gelatai’ answered the call with a project with an original design: Ice CREAM Ice Collection and Retrieval Expedition Aimed at Mars mission.
Experimental Payload V0
The experimental payload EPv0 is a project of the italian company Sidereus Space Dynamics developed, designed and built with the contribution of PoliSpace. EPv0 aims to characterize through measurements the payload bay of Sidereus’ launcher EOS.
Lexicon Project
Lexicon design aims to improve the filtering solutions already adopted in the Apollo mission by reducing the required maintenance and increasing the number of possible applications. The system is based on a closed-cycle, involving an inert fluid coupled with a cyclone filter to collect the dust produced inside a dome accommodating the ISRUmachine. The system’s scalability is allowed by 3D printing almost all the components and assembling them in-situ, thus avoiding the transportation of bulky materials.

A first look into the design of the 6S mission
Which are the main design drivers for an educational project? How do you study the feasibility of a space mission? These are just some of the challenges that the team of 6S, PoliSpace’s first CubeSat mission, faced during Phase A of design.
