Lexicon Project

Closed Projects / 09/05/2022 / Dario Scimone

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.

DART mission: a milestone in the planetary defense program

Space blog, Space news and blog / 06/12/2021 / Emanuele Tomassi

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

Five reasons why Space Architecture is the future

Polispace news / 02/11/2021 / Riccardo Rambaldi

1- The Earth will become uninhabitable “New altitude data triples estimates of global vulnerability to rising sea levels and coastal floods” 1. This is confirmed by Climate Central in a study published in the journal Nature Communications, which claims that by 2050 sea levels will rise and flood most continents, especially Asian ones, endangering the
