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

In todayโs 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 ๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ด๐ต๐น๐ ๐ญ๐ฑ ๐๐ถ๐บ๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐น๐๐ถ๐๐๐ฑ๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ป๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ฎ๐น ๐ฆ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป (#ISS) in the inner Van Allen belt.
The research conducted with this project will allow us to reach a much better understanding of some of our planetโs greatest wonders: ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ป๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ป ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ผ๐๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ป ๐น๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐๐.
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. ๐ฆ๐๐๐๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฑ๐๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป – using non-toxic and โปย green materials,
2. ๐ฆ๐๐๐๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ – aiming at missions that are bothย near zero-footprint, safer and better๐trackable than other state-of-the art technologies.
#ArcaDynamicsย is spearheading this effort of furthering the research ๐ฌ and demonstration of radiation-hardened โข 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 ๐ถ telecommunications system.
Further essential technical and logistical โ support for the program is made possible byย NEXT Ingegneria dei Sistemiย andย #H4Research.
