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.
6S CubeSat Project
Designing a CubeSat has always been one of the main focus of the association. After creating a team of BSc PoliMi students, the project of the PoliSpace CubeSat started getting shape.
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.
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.

#CubeSat Project – Orbastro Package
PoliSpace received a package from OrbAstro! It contains a flat-sat all-in-one platform for design, development, testing, validation and operations of payloads. This platform will allow us to develop our CubeSat based on it, and to carry out end-to-end testing of our CubeSat as well. It has been developed by OrbAstro in collaboration with ESA and […]
