15.00 Global Space Economic Workshop Italy: Aiming high in 2022 with ESA Space Rider
The DTA, since the creation of GSEW co-organizes with ASI and ESA, the GSEW Italia in Apulia Region. Topics discussed in the last 2 years go from cybersecurity to smart cities, and the activities are carried out under an agreement between ESA and DTA. More than 200 international participants joined the GSEW (2018, 2019), offering important opportunities for networking among high-level representative from space and non-space industries, from European institutions, universities and research centres. For the preparation of the third edition of GSEW@Italia 2022 we have identified, with ASI and ESA, the topic “ESA Space Rider commercialisation opportunities”. Space Rider is an uncrewed robotic laboratory about the size of two minivans. After launch on Vega-C it will stay in low orbit for about two months. Experiments inside its cargo bay will allow technology demonstration and benefit research in pharmaceutics, biomedicine, biology and physical science. At the end of its mission, Space Rider will return to Earth with its payloads and land on a runway to be unloaded and refurbished for another flight. The Grottaglie airport, in 2018 identified as a spaceport by the Italian Ministry of Transports, could be a potential landing site for Space Rider ? What are the opportunities and the challenges
