In collaboration with the Centro Ricerca Aerospaziale Sapienza (CRAS) of Rome, a study day will be organised to celebrate the anniversary of the signing of the agreement between the Italian and US governments, which marked the beginning of the Italian space race. The initiative will not be an empty commemoration, but rather an opportunity to assess the progress that the Italian scientific and industrial world has made, to the point of placing the country in a leading position regarding Launchers, Re-entry Vehicles, Satellites, Satellite Applications and Interplanetary Missions. In this perspective, the theme of Italy’s future growth in the Space Economy sector will also be addressed.
