One of our biggest and most successful projects here at PoliSpace is our 6S CubeSat. 6S is the very first satellite entirely designed and built by students at Politecnico di Milano, with the purpose of offering students a unique hands-on opportunity to apply knowledge on missions planning, subsystem design, and project management. The 6S Team […]

Amongst PoliSpace’s many facets and organizational subdivisions, there exists an ecosystem where highly technical and more self-contained projects take place. This is SpaceTech, the technical department of PoliSpace. Here, engineering projects are proposed, developed and managed for internal use, competitions, or even other entities and external companies! Due to this very nature, active projects have

We all know space is not exactly easy to deal with. With phrases like “it’s not rocket science” or “shoot for the stars” it’s even become general culture to hold its challenges in high regard! That said, looking it from a more technical perspective does not soften the blow. Space is harsh. Microgravity affects everything

Well, whilst it is indeed not trivial, it is also not something that’s out of our reach! Here at PoliSpace, members of the SpaceTech group have been working on what has been labeled The Ground Station Project.

When we think of rocketry, we commonly think of the impressive images and videos of spacecrafts being launched utilizing huge earth-shaking rockets, propelled through the skies by a scorching trail of exhaust and flames. These are our traditional thermochemical rocket thrusters, and since the advent of rocketry, they have been our most reliable way to get things out of our planet.
