A few months ago, we were proud to share the breaking news ofย AVIO‘s momentous ๐Ÿ’ชย #VegaCย launch from French Guyana. June 13thโ€™s launch was only phase I of the mission for Italy and the companies that weโ€™re proudly spotlighting with this weekโ€™s

In todayโ€™s space sector, when discussingย #CubeSatย technology, we normally are almost exclusively still discussingย #LEOย (Low Earth Orbit) missions. The Alpha CubeSat is changing that, as it will continue operating in a much more hostile level of the atmosphere, conducting anย #MEOย (Medium Earth Orbit) mission at ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ด๐—ต๐—น๐˜† ๐Ÿญ๐Ÿฑ ๐˜๐—ถ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐˜€ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ๐—น๐˜๐—ถ๐˜๐˜‚๐—ฑ๐—ฒ ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—œ๐—ป๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—น ๐—ฆ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ ๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป (#ISS) in the inner Van Allen belt.

The mission ofย ARCA Dynamicsย and its partners is to design and develop these innovative technologies with theย goal of improving space exploitation sustainabilityย by tackling two sensitive topics:

1. ๐—ฆ๐˜‚๐˜€๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—ฏ๐—น๐—ฒ ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ฑ๐˜‚๐—ฐ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป – using non-toxic and โ™ปย green materials,

2. ๐—ฆ๐˜‚๐˜€๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—ฏ๐—น๐—ฒ ๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜€ – aiming at missions that are bothย near zero-footprint, safer and better๐Ÿ”Žtrackable than other state-of-the art technologies.

#ArcaDynamicsย is spearheading this effort of furthering the research ๐Ÿ”ฌ and demonstration of radiation-hardened โ˜ข technology, as the primary developers of the CubeSat. Recognized byย Lazio Innovaย for their innovative approaches, the Rome-based new space company is also a stellar provider space traffic management services.

Proudย Regione Emilia-Romagnaย Cluster IR4Iย memberย NPC SPACEMINDย has reported the successful opening and operation of its โ˜€ solar-powered deorbiting sail, presenting a new solution to limiting space debris.

Apogeo Space, an Italian space startup making waves for their projected fleet of 100+ exclusively Italian-made nanosatellites (projected to launch in 2027), will be providing a state-of-the-art OBC and ๐Ÿ“ถ telecommunications system.

Further essential technical and logistical โš’ support for the program is made possible byย NEXT Ingegneria dei Sistemiย andย #H4Research.
