The last year was very successful for SpaceDyS, as the company exceed its main goal, described in the business plan, which was supposed to be achieved in three years from its constitution. It is performed indeed in the half of the time considering the trend of the turnover and of the current and confirmed projects. It is supported so far by a structured team, which number is also increased step by step over our expectations, according to the company needs.
Just at the end of 2012, SpaceDyS was admitted for the POR CReO Program through Regione Toscana for...
The 23rd November was held the VIII Award for Young Entrepreneurs 2012 organized by Pisa’s Chamber of Commerce. SpaceDyS is pleased to be represented by Linda Dimare, as vicepresident of the spin-off and one of the young skilled entrepreneurs of the team, who was awarded among the winners of this edition. An article was published at a local newspaper “Il Tirreno”.
By conceiving a new "fly-eye telescope" concept SpaceDyS's team has already found the most efficient solution concerning the question arisen form NASA and ESA for monitoring and cataloguing space debris, which since 1957 still threats the space. This advanced telescope of a wide range focusing field, is supposed to respect the architecture of a fly eye concept, which consists in net of small and simple eyes, each of these focused on only one direction. The images provided by each of this single eyes will be after that matched as a puzzle, in order to complete all the frame, achieving in this...
Roberto Bonzio published on-line at www.voglioviverecosiworld.com website an article about the interview of Alessandro Rossi, an associate member of SpaceDyS srl, who is a senior researcher of asteroids, artificial satellites and space debris. Dr. Rossi explains the difficulties of R&D field in Italy in comparison with abroad (e.g. France). As an expert in the astronomy field of space debris he states that he tries to overcome the burocracy and difficulties in Italy by a continuous hard work, by interfacing with international experts and by matching the academic research with an entrepreneurial spirit as he is doing in our start up...
In September at BBC Science, a magazine of scientific matters, was published an article of Marco Mazzucco concerning the problem of space debris, which dealt with the movement of the debris around the earth’s orbit and with the probable risk of a collision of these debris with the other active orbit satellites.
On this occasion was interviewed one of our associates Mr. Alessandro Rossi, who is an expert on the matter. In this article, whose magazine's circulation is national, is mentioned for the first time the name of our company SpaceDyS . This is a first small distinguishing mark of...
The 12th September 2012 took place the Kick-off of SPARC (SPace AwaReness for Critical Infrastructures), which is funded by UE and prime contractor Telespazio. This study will focus on some space phenomena such as space weather, space debris and asteroids which orbit near earth and could cause a risk for some critical infrastructures of human activities. SpaceDyS will cooperate on this giving a significant contribution on monitoring the asteroids impact and treating the space debris orbits.
From 20th until 31st August took place in Beijing (China) the General Assembly of IAU (International Astronomic Union). The meeting carries out every three years and involves astronomers and astrophysics from all the world and all the fields. In this conference, are represented many scientific projects, as well as are named the IAU members of the administration structure (that are the general secretary, division’s and committee’s presidents, as well as the executive committee’s and division’s members). Furthermore the General Assembly in this occasion take decisions concerning some proposed solutions.
This year some associates of SpaceDyS are in charge of...
The architectural study of CO-II of SSA’s program has already started. The prime contractor is INDRA, which is one of the biggest Spanish companies and counts over 40 thousand employees. Besides the partners of the contract Spacedys, CGS (Compagnia Generale per lo Spazio), Deimos (Spain) is to be considered also the Mathematic Department of the University of Pisa. The study aims to define the architecture of the SSA program with its segments SST (space debris) and SN (NEO). SpaceDyS’s task is to validate the telescopes network and simulation of the orbit determination for the asteroids and space debris.
In July 2012 Regione Toscana (that is the Tuscany Administrative Unit) accepted the application presented from University of Pisa and SpaceDyS s.r.l., concerning a co-financing of a research grant aimed to a common study. The research matter concerns algorithms for the orbit propagation of space objects both for natural and artificial ones.
50% of the research grant will be financed from Regione Toscana as a part of European Program (POR CRO), 25% will be financed from the University of Pisa (from the Mathematic Department funds) and 25% is already funded by SpaceDyS.
The announcement of the public examination...
