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.

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
