SpaceTech is the technical department of PoliSpace. It proposes, develops and manages engineering projects in the association: from international challenges and competitions to incubated projects for companies or other entities (associations, partners and sponsors). SpaceTech offers its members to work on real engineering projects, facing the challenges of working inside a dynamic team and getting involved directly in the space industry reality, often collaborating with space companies and startups.
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.
How can habitat spaces be optimized to suit human needs in space? How can we make the habitat more human-centered?
Many challenges for the future sustain of human life in space need to be overcome, the aim of the SPARC Project is to test existing space habitat concepts using Virtual Reality (VR). Testing a user’s experience will help us develop safer, more comfortable, and habitable spaces making the living in space, beyond surviving, a closer reality.
Human Space exploration presents many technical challenges when it comes to guaranteeing the safety of astronauts, both on a physiological and psychological level; therefore, it is crucial to train future astronauts and test the technologies that will enable them to venture beyond our planet beforehand.
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.
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.
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.
