NEXT GENERATION EU
KEY ENABLING TECHNOLOGIES

Earth observation and space exploration is one of the core objectives of researchers in Politecnico di Milano. We are pioneers in deep space exploration and profoundly linked with innovative players in space industry and research community. Our research groups focus on a wide range of key subjects from the design of space components, to space propulsion and power generation systems, to orbit and attitude control systems, and space systems integration/testing, automation, and environmental impact of space missions. Politecnico di Milano Space research centre is a point of reference both at a national and international level regarding the technological opportunities and related business impact of space exploration.
