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 PoliS pace CubeSat started getting shape.
Thanks to a partnership with Sidereus Space Dynamics, the PoliSpace Cubesat will actually take flight towards real space in the early months of 2023.
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 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.
Webinar Details: This presentation will cover the topic of using hydrogen reaction mass derived from the Moon, reaching asteroids in 3 months, and harvesting platinum for another trillion-dollar market.

Webinar Details: This presentation will cover the topic of serving utility energy needs from orbital power-generating satellites, at massive scales, having a near-zero carbon footprint on Earth. Guest: Dr. Peter Schubert is a Professor of electrical and computer engineering and the Director of the Richard G. Lugar Center for Renewable Energy (LCRE) at Indiana University-Purdue …
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), NASA’s next space science observatory following Hubble, developed in partnership with ESA and CSA, successfully launched on December 25th, 2021. This next-generation telescope will offer astronomers the opportunity to observe the evolution and formation of stars and planets, exoplanet systems, and our solar system in ways never before possible. …

We turn our gaze along the line of the horizon, towards the dark sky, towards that destiny that runs along the red thread of ancient moiras. A new year is coming to an end, the soft laughter of a child echoes: 2022 already weakly releases its glimmer of light on the aerospace world. We turn …
DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) is a planetary defence project. It uses a smashing collision with an asteroid to alter its trajectory, and it will be the first demonstration of the kinetic impactor technique to change the course of an asteroid in space. DART is a spacecraft designed to impact an asteroid as a test …

This presentation will provide an overview of the James Webb Space Telescope, which will succeed the Hubble Space Telescope in our quest for the first galaxies formed out of the darkness of the early universe.
Founded in Sept. 2020, the Polispace association has been working with the aim to share the passion for space with students and spread it around thanks to the commitment of its executive members, a group of students from different backgrounds who have a passion for aerospace and space. This year, Polispace celebrated its first year …
