Position
SME4SPACE is a Panel of Space SMEs Associations of the ESA Member States and ESA cooperating States. SME4SPACE
was founded in 2007 and officially launched on 19 June 2007 at the International Paris Air Show, Le Bourget. On that
day ESA General Director J. J. Dordain signed a Memorandum of Agreement formalising cooperation between ESA and
SME4SPACE.
The aim of this organisation is to voice Space SMEs’ viewpoint in an organised and coordinated way and to facilitate
the access of SMEs to space activities in general and to ESA programmes in particular.
More in detail the organisation pursues the following not for profit purposes:
• defining and defending common positions, representing the SMEs towards public authorities i.e. the European
Space Agency, the European Union and its related agencies;
• organising seminars and information sessions;
• organising a network of SMEs in order to increase the possibilities to cooperate;
• carrying out research projects, participating at National, European and International calls in space and related activities. In particular the task of “Dissemination and Exploitation of Project Results” (under the voice
“Impact”) suits very well the characteristics of SME4SPACE, being able to provide an added value thanks to
the large number of SMEs it represents as well as the wide geographical coverage.
Areas of Activity

Canadian Space Technologies
Canada’s space technologies sector is knowledge-intensive and at the forefront of this highly technical global industry.
Building on the strengths of more than 7,500 highly skilled workers – nearly 2,600 of whom are engineers and scientists
– Canadian space firms have acquired world-leading capabilities in satellite-based communication services, space robotics, earth observation and space sciences. Sales in 2011, including related value added products and services, were
approximately $3.5 billion.
Approximately 70% of Canada's space activities are in the Province of Ontario.
Canadian Strengths and Excellence
Satellite Communications and Navigation Systems (84%)
Telecommunications is the largest space technology subsector in Canada. Canadian aerospace companies are major
players in the world's commercial satellite operator industry, rapidly increasing their influence in the U.S. fixed-satellite market. With the launch of Anik F – one of the world's most advanced communications satellites – Canada has expanded into the exploding South American market. Canadian firms are also poised to capture a larger share of the
growing direct-to-home satellite market place.
Canada’s space industry is the second-largest provider of global navigation satellite systems equipment, following the
U.S. More than 80 Canadian firms manufacture and service electronics products for aviation and space navigation. And, they provide specialized expertise in GIS applications, wireless solutions, GPS and inertial navigation systems, and satellite distribution functions.
Space Robotics and Automation (4%)
Canada’s space industry, working in partnership with the Canadian Space Agency, has achieved an expertise in space
robotics and automation beyond that of any other nation. This leadership is shown by the Space Shuttle’s Canadarm
and its successor for the International Space Station (ISS).
Remote manipulator systems like the Canadarm, and robotic workstations and integration application software are a
Canadian forté. Other areas of strength include space robotics assembly and the development of software control applications. Canada also commands a world-leading position in the provision of training simulators for the operation of
remote manipulator systems. Astronauts, cosmonauts and support personnel from around the world have developed
and honed their expertise using state-of-the-art Canadian products.
Expertise in the area of space vision systems complements Canada’s robotics prowess. Moreover, Canadian firms are
at the forefront in applying space robotics and automation expertise to terrestrial applications in such areas as manufacturing, mining, agriculture, and medicine.

Canada
Earth Observation and Remote Sensing (7%)
The earth observation (EO) and remote sensing segment of the space technologies market is going through a significant transformation. Its focus has shifted from meeting demands from government military (intelligence gathering)
and civil markets (mapping, disaster response) to meeting a diverse range of commercial applications – particularly in
the area of natural resource management. New business opportunities in the fields of agriculture, forestry, resource
extraction and marine surveillance are being captured by Canadian EO companies.
Canada is also a world leader in systems that collect, record and store valuable satellite-based land information – having built more than 70 percent of the world’s civilian multi-satellite EO ground stations.

Small satellite busses (up to 200 kg) and payloads/components for small satellites (1 to 400 kg) are the core business
activities of Astro- und Feinwerktechnik Adlershof GmbH. In this area we focus on high reliable and smart systems for
LEO and deep space applications.
We are specialized in attitude control components (reaction wheels, IMUs, GPS systems, Magnetic Field Sensors) and
complete AOC-subsystems, power subsystem components (PCU, PDU), structures and mechanism (booms, solar panels
or deployment mechanism) and scientific and optical payloads (primary VIS and IR). Additional to that we offer ground
support equipment (EGSE, MGSE, OGSE), like transport containers or AOCS test beds.
The scope of services comprises the complete verification and environmental qualification of new space technologies
and hardware (scientific and commercial), according to NASA/ESA/JAXA standards, which also includes vibration, pyro
shock and thermal vacuum testing.

General co-operation: Finding some partnerships
Astronautics are in the centre of all business activities of Astro- und Feinwerktechnik Adlershof GmbH. Thanks to the
comprehensive knowledge and experience of a large part of the employees in different fields of the space technology,
the company has developed in the course of its history from a supplier of parts and components into a system vendor.
In the early phase of development of the company, mostly individual components and assembly groups with high-technology and precision standards were supplied. With the development of more complex payloads for various missions
and subsystems for different micro-satellites a comprehensive and continuous improvement of the capabilities in the
areas of development, production and verification of hardware products took place. In the satellite bus for small
satellites product area, some individual subsystems for the energy supply and the Attitude Control System (ACS) were
developed. In the reaction wheels sector, a family of reaction wheels for small satellites could be successfully
launched on the market. With the smallest of the RW’s (RW 1), the company has an absolutely unique selling point at
the international market.
In the course of the next growth phase, the company has obtained comprehensive expertise in the area of system engineering by hiring highly qualified specialists, continuing education of the permanent staff and investing in the technological base of the company with a focus on electronic hardware and software, and last but not least by the work on
complex projects.

The most recent example about that is the development of the TET satellite bus system for the phases A to C/D. The
TET satellite was launched at July 2012.
The experience and the knowledge obtained in test mode and their consistence further development contributed to
the creation of the Environment Simulation and Testing department. Thus we can perform the majority of the testing
procedures necessary for approval of the small satellite hardware. The scope of the services comprises the mechanical
tests (typically: vibration, shock, pyroshock, static load by linear acceleration, determining the centre of gravity and
the mass of geometrically complex test specimens) and the thermal and thermal-vacuum tests. In collaboration with
reliable partners, additional tests, e.g. radiation tests, can be performed at our company.
In parallel with the build-up of our space-related core competences, it was necessary to develop essential ground support equipment (GSE). Just here lie the strong points of our company in the development of complex test stations. Examples in this respect are the air bearings (for the ACS), the pyroshock or the thermal-vacuum test stations we supply
to our partners in the industry and science.

ARTEMIS srl, born in 2003 as a university spin-off, is dedicated to non destructive diagnostics, with a great experience
in the use of sophisticated instrumentation, such as laser Doppler scanning vibrometers, infrared thermography and
ground penetrating radar (GPR). Although usually oriented towards the fields of civil buildings and Cultural Heritage,
since 2008 Artemis has become a commercial/technical partner of the Danish company Structural Vibration SolutionsSVS from Aalborg. SVS is a world leader in the production of software for Operational Modal Analysis - OMA, a well
know technique to derive modal properties of structures without knowing the input excitation. OMA is thus very well
suited for the analysis of big structures (bridges, buildings) but works very well also in the case of bad determined inputs to the system, like in aeronautics and aerospace. As already mentioned, Artemis is highly specialised in vibration
mapping by laser Doppler vibrometry, with many applications including paintings, glass structures, buildings facades
and wood panels. From the union of OMA and LDV, the characterization and diagnostics of many structures in the field
of aerospace could be in-deep studied, and we would like to meet Companies and Universities interested in developing research or in need of our services.

CEO
CECOM was founded in 1964 in Rome by Cesare Ceracchi. Its growth was due to the prestigious collaboration with
several organizations and companies, e.g. CERN, INFN, ENEA, several universities in Italy, Elettronica Spa and Avio
Spa. Excellence, precision, quality, flexibility and frontier technology have made CECOM a leader in mechanics and
UHV applications. Since the early 1980s CECOM has divided its work between the fields of scientific research, civil,
military and aeronautics.
These applications have characterized CECOM skills: the stringent requirements of aeronautics applications, in terms
of performances, reliability, lifetime and quality assurance, have been joined to the flexibility required by the research applications (development of prototypes, UHV requirements, special tests), thus improving CECOM knowledge
and abilities.
These challenges have led to the achievement of the skills and technologies needed for designing, manufacturing and
testing prototypes, series components and turnkey systems. CECOM equipment includes the most up-to-date machineries for any kind of manufacturing (NC milling machines 3,4 and 5 axis, NC lathe and wire-eroding machines),
TIG welding, assembling and testing (two DEA CMM machines for dimensional check are available). In our clean room
(class 1000) we can perform assembling and leak detection. Our UHV equipment allows us to perform bakeout, RGA
test and desorption rate measurements.

Studies and New Initiatives Responsible
CO.RI.S.T.A. (Consortium of Research on Advanced Remote Sensing Systems) is a non-profit consortium.
It was formed in Naples in 1988 aiming to promote close cooperation between universities and industry in areas related to aerospace remote sensing. It had, therefore, from the beginning, universities and industrial members which
have contributed, each according to their characteristics and attitudes, to make of the Consortium an extremely flexible structure rich in diversified and specialized resources.
It deals with the design, prototype development and application of advanced sensors for remote sensing that can be
installed on ground, air and space platforms (balloons, aircraft, helicopters and satellites).
It conducts research and prototype development in the field of remote sensing systems, also including aspects of their
control in operation and processing of data.
The areas of technical expertise within remote sensing activity range from the definition and simulation of innovative
airborne sensors and of prototypes of satellite subsystems to the development of satellite data processing algorithms.
The objectives, to which such research activities are directed, derive from an analysis of the evolution of the sector,
consistent with the strategic plans and "roadmaps" developed by the consortium members. In this sense, CO.RI.S.T.A.
acts as a link between the objectives of industrial development and those of scientific research of its members.
In this process it aims also entering more and more significantly in the fabric of small and medium enterprises in the
aerospace sector in Campania, through involvement in research programs, in which the importance is also the possibility of engineering and marketing of the prototypes developed.
It employs its own team of researchers and its laboratory is part of the Register of Research Laboratories recognized
by the Ministry of Education, University and Research.
In the international framework it is part of the research centers accredited by the European Space Agency as potential

Horizon 2020 related: A NEW AIRBORNE MULTI-MODE and MULTI-BAND LOW FREQUENCY
RADAR
Request for cooperation
Following the potentialities of airborne low-frequency radar systems, the Italian Space Agency (ASI) promoted the development of the first Italian multi-mode and multi-band airborne radar system, as a “proof-of-concept” for future
dedicated spaceborne missions. ASI assigned to the research consortium CO.RI.S.T.A. the design, development and
flight validation of such system. The project starts from the experience gained by CO.RI.STA in SORA (SOunding
RAdar) mission, also funded by the Italian Space Agency, which led to an experimental flight, of a stratospheric balloon equipped with the Ground Penetrating Radar expressly designed and developed by CO.RI.S.T.A. and launched to
from Svalbard islands (Greenland) in 2009.
The activities conducted by CO.RI.S.T.A. in the new project have led to the realization of a multi-band (150 and 450
MHz) and multi-functionality (imager and sounder) airborne radar demonstrator, and to a series of aerial experimentations. Main aim of the project is from one hand to support the Italian scientific community in the field of space missions Ground Penetrating Radar dedicated to Solar System exploration, and from the other hand to validation the system for civil and military applications typical of low-frequency radar. To cover a wide range of applications, the developed radar uses three frequencies operating in P-band range and can work both as sub-sounder and as SAR imager.
For further details view http://www.corista.eu/radar_pe.html.
Target partner
CO.RI.S.T.A. is looking for universities and research centers interested in airborne campaigns focused on applications
of low-frequency technology (monitoring of sea and icy environment, forestry applications, biomass measurement,
archeological and geological exploration). CO.RI.S.T.A. is also looking for partners and/or end users interested in the
exploitation and dissemination of low-frequency radar data.

D-Orbit has developed a smart propulsive device that can be installed on satellites before launch and is able to bring
them back into the atmosphere in a quick and controlled manner leading to safe destruction. Alternatively, the device
can reorbit them into a graveyard orbit when they stop working, in order to avoid collisions with other operating
spacecraft or falling uncontrolled into assets and people on Earth. D-Orbit eliminates satellite operators’ liability for
third party damages. Moreover, D-Orbit offers to satellite owners a reliable and cost-effective product that increases
the operating life of satellites, increasing their revenues by up to 25 million dollars.
Key features:
1. Autonomy: D-Orbit is a stand-alone device which can be commanded directly by Earth (in case of defunct satellite);
2. Controlled reentry: D-Orbit offers the unique capability of reentry the satellite in a well defined area safe away
from human population;
3. Safe and Reliable technology: solid propellant motors are the most reliable in Space. Devices are MIL and ECSS standard certified and Space qualified;
4. Backup: D-Orbit device could be used as backup system to increase from 20% to 80% the mission time in case of
launch failure (detailed technical and business cases for LEO and GEO satellites available upon request);
5. Customization: D-Orbit could be customized to properly satisfy special request by customers;
6. Cost: negligible compared with satellite cost, far more convenient than deorbiting operations done today.
In general D-Orbit offers the best time-to-reentry/mass ratio and the best performance/mass ratio. Quick reentry is
fundamental to avoid damages produced by satellite during its decommissioning phase. Tethers, as an example, require months or even years to deorbit average size satellites, while D-Orbit will bring back the satellite in few hours /
few days.
Mission Statement: D-Orbit works to guarantee a sustainable and profitable future for the Space Industry and a clean
and safe environment for space missions, primarily eliminating uncontrolled and dangerous junk orbiting around the
Earth, in order to reduce costs and increase revenues for satellites operators and enhance safety for people on our
Planet.
The Company was founded in Italy in 2011 thanks to a seed venture capital investment.
D-Orbit Inc. was established in California and registered in Delaware in 2012 to address the American market.
Goals and Objectives D-Orbit is committed to apply strategic sustainability principles to Space Industry, securing higher profitability and a safer environment for Space exploitation and Space technology transfer into our society. In particular:
? Every new satellite or space vehicle leaving Earth shall have D-Orbit on board. D-Orbit will be the leader on the “deorbiting devices” market: 25% of market share in five years.
? Space Industry shall apply sustainability principles promoted by D-Orbit, in order to secure continuity to Space exploitation and a safer environment for our society.
? D-Orbit will be the leader in Strategic Innovation for Inner and Outer Space activities.
? D-Orbit will be a high profit’s margin company, with projected revenues of 80+ million euro in five years, and a con-
Page 124 of 339

stant growth.
? D-Orbit, once break-even, will invest on new technologies to clean all the other junk that are already present in
Space.
? External relationships with the biggest satellites players in the market ensure D-Orbit the perfect Exit strategy once
the company will become profitable.
D-Orbit shared and carried on the following projects:
- a project in partnership with Alma Space for the italian Space Agency.
- a study of feasibility on ADR mission (GSP Programme) for the European Space Agency.
- a european poject in partnership (european consortium) regarding the 7FP - Space.

• manufacturing of thin film coatings with different deposition techniques (electron beam evaporation with ion
assistance, magnetron radiofrequency sputtering, dual ion beam sputtering)
• characterization of both thin films properties and performance of optical coatings, with commercial and ad
hoc constructed instrumentation.
The applications of optical coatings pursued till now are mainly related to:
•
•
•
•
•
mirrors for laser resonators

Geocart took part in a FP project carried out from 2009 to 2011 and known as “ISTIMES: INTEGRATED SYSTEM FOR
TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURES SURVEILLANCE AND MONITORING BY ELECTROMAGNETIC SENSING”. The overall objective of the activity carried out by Geocart was the identification of appropriate Earth Observation technologies suitable for the environmental monitoring and for land or infrastructures characterization using the overlapping of multitemporal and multi-sensors data. The purpose of this project aimed to monitor two strategic areas near Potenza City,
in the Basilicata Region (South Italy), interested by hydro-geological risk, through aerial inspections. The aerial survey
have been carried out by an airborne multi-sensor platform, named MAPping, integrating innovative tools suitable for
acquiring high definition data among which:
a full waveform laser scanner (LIDAR);a digital High resolution camera;two hyper-spectral sensors working in VNIR and
SWIR;a digital thermal camera.
The multi-temporal analysis of DTM (Digital Terrain Model) acquired by LIDAR allowed the detection of surfaces and
volumes interested by landslides. The main characteristic of the acquired data (hyper-spectral images, thermal images, ortophoto and cloud points) was the high spatial accuracy and precision that allowed the use of the dataset as
basic reference layer for successive detailed analysis, using the same sensors or different ones, also in case of data
acquisition by means of different platforms, such as terrestrial surveys or satellite data.

The Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia was born in September 1999 through a merger of former Istituto
Nazionale di Geofisica, Osservatorio Vesuviano and three other institutions: Istituto Internazionale di Vulcanologia, Istituto di Geochimica dei Fluidi and Istituto di Ricerca sul Rischio Sismico.
INGV was meant to gather all scientific and technical institutions operating in Geophysics and Volcanology and to create a permanent scientific forum in the Earth Sciences. INGV cooperates with universities and other national public
and private institutions, as well as with many research agencies worldwide. The new institution, currently the largest
European body dealing with research in Geophysics and Volcanology, has its headquarters in Rome and important facilities in Milano, Bologna, Pisa, Napoli, Catania and Palermo.
The main mission of INGV is the monitoring of geophysical phenomena in both the solid and fluid components of the
Earth. INGV is devoted to 24-hour countrywide seismic surveillance, real-time volcanic monitoring, early warning and
forecast activities. State-of-the-art networks of geophysical sensors deliver a continuous flow of observations to the
acquisition centers of Rome, Naples and Catania, were the data are analyzed around the clock by specialized personnel. In addition to being analysed for research and civil defence purposes, the data supplied by numerous monitoring
networks are regularly distributed to the public institutions concerned, to the scientific community and to the public.
INGV operates in close coordination with the Ministry of University and Research and with Civil Protection authorities,
both at national and local level. INGV also cooperates with the Ministry of Environment, the Ministry of Education, the

MARSec (Mediterranean Agency for Remote Sensing and environmental control) is a satellite monitoring center which
aims at providing, mainly to public bodies, products and valueadded services obtained from satellite data. Data are
received, processed, stored and distributed directly by the Agency. Data processing is performed by MARSec; signals
received from satellites are transformed into "products/services", or into data ready to be analyzed or used in various
applications by public bodies. MARSec operates at regional, national, and international level. Indeed, remotely sensed
data cover the whole Mediterranean area, Northern Europe and North Africa.
MARSec was founded as a public agency owned by the Province of Benevento. The executive project was entrusted to
the University of Sannio that was responsible for overseeing the creation of its infrastructures and supplying the center with appropriate technological equipment. Later, in 2002, the project was also financed by Campania Region. In
2006, the Agency became a company, MARSec S.p.A. The share capital is totally owned by the Province of Benevento,
that is also the founding member (MARSec is an in-house providing company). MARSec S.p.A. was created to manage
the satellite center and to provide professional services to public bodies. On the basis of that previous experience and
through the recruitment of the qualified staff trained during that previous phase, the new company inherited the
knowhow to receive and process satellites data. This is a unique case in Italy and, probably, there are very few companies of this type in Europe. In 2006, a new national Law was passed. According to this Law (article 13, Decree Law
No. 223 of July 4, 2006), in-house companies are allowed to provide services only within the territory controlled by its
owner (a public body). For this reason, the Province of Benevento was required to verify whether it was authorized to
keep the ownership (totally or partially) of MARSec shares (i.e., the share capital of its in-house company). On 31 December 2010, the Province established that it did not have the requirements to be the owner of MARSec shares since
MARSec activities are not strictly necessary to the pursuit of the institutional goals of the Province. Therefore, the
Province decided to sell its company shares to third parties (the Province will transfer 49% of its shares in 2011 and
100% within 2013 ). The tender has been published in Summer 2011 and from January 2012 MARSec has a new private
shareholder, GeoNetSAT, a NewCo formed by GeosLab Srl and Golem Software Srl, two companies specialized in providing products and services for Public Administrations. The new private partner has also acquired the right, within
two years, to exercise its option to acquire 100% of the shares of MARSec. GeosLab has got the 70% of GeoNetSat,
while Golem has the remaining 30%.
GeosLab was founded with the aim at organizing a center for digital mapping production and for development of GIS
based applications (Geographic Information System). Through significant investments in R&D, in few years the company, with seat in Morra de Sanctis(AV), was able to consolidate an important know-how and is planning development
both in national and in international field. Today GeosLab gives high priority to the creation of a center of excellence
in Campania in the field of environmental monitoring and control of territory. At the end of 2010 GeosLab was among
the promoters of a network of enterprises called GeoNetCom. A lot of important companies, with offices in Pisa, Milan, Trento, Tunis, Geneva, etc..., are a part of this network and are involved in several initiatives. It has been also
created a new company in Tirana (Albania) and the same is happening in Algeria, to cover the many opportunities for
business development in the Balkans and North Africa. The investment plan provided by the new company for MARSec
is 1,000,000 Euros in the next 2 years. Between 2012 and 2013 is expected to purchase a new, larger satellite antenna, which will be installed at the new MARSec offices (in an area named “International School of Environmental Diagnostics” - about 2 km from Benevento and along the highway for Naples - Bari). The existing International Partnerships

that have assured to MARSEC some important certifications(NASA, Canadian Space Agency and IMAGESAT) and the exclusive contract - in Italy - for the management of acquisitions of Israeli high-resolution optical satellite EROS B (70
cm) were significantly enhanced with the entry of new shareholder. GeosLab, in fact, has signed a cooperation agreement for developing Italian and international market in the field of satellite images and of specialized software platforms, with the PASCO Group, an international holding (based in Japan) operating in the detection of spatial data using a fleet of owned aircrafts (through its subsidiaries, such as AERODATA B.V.) and a constellation of several satellites.

Position
Researcher
Within the Institute of Cognitive Science and Technology, I work in the Planning and Scheduling Technology (PST) Laboratory.
The PST has been founded in 1997 as a research group focused on automated and interactive techniques for planning
problems. We have obtained results on specialized constraint reasoning, (meta) heuristics for scheduling, mixed-initiative problem solving, timeline-based planning.
The group has been involved for over ten years in a collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA). Three of our
problem solving tools are in continuous daily use in the mission planning ground facility at ESA-ESOC, Darmstadt.
We have been working in the "USOCs KnowLedge Integration and dissemination for Space Science and Exploration" project (ULISSE) funded by the European Commission (FP7-SPACE) whose aim was to develop a ICT framework to allow
USOCs to share information gathered in different experiment performed on the ISS Columbus module.
Then, we have been part in the "Goal Oriented Autonomous Controller" project (GOAC) funded by the European Space
Agency (ESA-ESTEC) whose aim was the definition of a control arcitecture for planetary rovers.
During the last five years we have broadened our research interests toward new areas thus acquiring competences in
robotics, ambient assisted living, cognitive systems for training, and health systems for aging well. In FP7 we have
projects in different topics (Space, ICT, Security, and AAL).

RedCat Devices (RCD), a start-up company built on 2006, is a fabless semiconductor company devoted to design and
realization of semiconductor memories for aerospace and nuclear science taking the best from standard and well consolidated CMOS technologies and using radiation hardening by design (RHBD) methodologies to enhance resistance either to total ionizing dose (TID) and single event effects (SEE).
The expertise of RCD is focused on both volatile and non volatile semiconductor memories coming from its founders
whose experience have been matured either in academics and large corporates and spreaded on technical and management issues such as design of silicon devices and technology transfer operations among large corporates.
RCD’s capability spreads from project management to physical simulation and layout design of complete silicon devices for customers who can be helped on silicon process choosing too.
RCD is active in different fields. The main targets are space applications (satellites, probes, spacecraft), high energy
physic experiments and a new possible target are medical equipments (radiotherapy).
RCD participated and is participating in international projects aimed at the research and development of rad-hard

Program for Industrial, Scientific and Technological Cooperation in R&D”, RCD participated in “RAMSES - RAd-hard
Memories for Storage Embedded System”, “CISSA — CMOS Image Sensors for Space Applications projects” and now is
participating in “ATENA — Advanced Testing Environment for NVM, SRAM and CIS based Applications”. ATENA aims to
develop a customized testing platform to be used for all silicon applications containing array-based devices such as
non volatile memories, SRAM (Static Random Access Memory) cells and CIS (CMOS Image Sensor) pixels to be used in
hostile environments containing X-Ray, Gamma Ray and Heavy Ions. http://www.redcatdevices.it/projects/
In September 1st 2011 RedCat Devices has started FP7 SkyFlash 262890 European Project in the role of coordinator.
The project aims to develop a strong rad hard by design (RHBD) methodology for the realization of non volatile flash
memories based on standard CMOS 180nm processes using memory cells based on floating trap ONO (Oxide-Nitride-Oxide) approach (Flash memories). The methodology will be focused on environments affected by radiation due to protons, electrons and high energy ions (heavy ions) such as low and high orbits (satellites) or deep space (probes).

SpaceEXE srl is an “Innovative Start-up” as per Italian legislative decree (“decreto sviluppo”), constituted on 04/02/
2013.Its name remarks its mission: the executable of the Space; having as main scope to transfer the research coming
from satellite Navigation and Telecommunication applications to the Sport & Leisure market sector.SpaceEXE has
born as consequence of a consultant activity carried out by Alessandro Di Felice and Mirko Antonini on behalf of ASI
(Italian Sport Association). It was a feasibility study on sport navigation applications, which goals are represented by
the realization of a prototype GNSS dispositive integrated into shinguards: the MESSI System. SpaceEXE has later won
an opportunity issued by Regione Lazio for company start-ups, with the MESSI PLUS project: a co-funded project for
the implementation of a mini-device to be integrated into a soccer ball. The research project (KO on February 2013)
has the scope of completing the MESSI system (shinguards for all players and soccer ball) developing also a first software version. MESSI has been completed and main output are the “integrated shinguard” prototype (GNSS receiver,
battery and antenna) and a preliminary software version. MESSI has been presented at the ESNC 2012 being Finalist at
the ESA Special Prize and Second at the Regional (Lombardy) one; in ESNC 2013 being winner of the Regional (Lombardy) price. SpaceEXE has been incubated by ESA and Bic Lazio starting from 10/2013, scope of the incubation programme is the development of the MESSI HP (High-Precision), project. Main scopes and outputs is to development a
“MESSI High-Precision System”, integrate an accelerometer and relative software adaptation. We believe that HighPrecision will allow to have a “special” offering, able to characterize SpaceEXE in the relative market.

years old declares to be interested in soccer. Regarding the Television market the incident of broadcasting rights on
Soccer is about the 65% for Italian Serie A revenues, 50% for UK Premier League, 38% for Spanish Liga and 32% for German Bundesliga. Recently the interest in new technologies from professional soccer club is rising. They are interested
in monitoring the athlete in order to improve his competitiveness. Moreover, there is the need of tracking soccer players during trainings and official matches for the main following reasons:
-
to measure athletes performances
-
to visualize and analyze dynamic statistics on players position and velocity and correlate them
-
to monitor athletes health status
-
to support trainers during season preparation
-
to develop better tactical schemes
Starting from the application (Monitoring of soccer players performances) we can say to have reached a technology: a
wearable GNSS mini-device (including battery and antenna) with some scalable and specific requirements (e.g. realtime, battery duration, communication coverage, etc…). Now we desire to enhance our technology with Galileo open
service. This “SpaceEXE” technology can be adapted in order to match other applications in other markets: for example a rescue team which have to extinguishing a forest fire, monitored in real-time.

In general SYSTEMDESIGN is able to design complex mechanical and electronic systems and products based on partner/
customer requirements.
Previous experience in space:
SYSTEMDESIGN has already developed a portable sensory system for indoor air quality monitoring based on artificial
intelligence algorithms for space applications (codename NADIR).
NADIR is a compact size, transportable and battery powered unit for air quality monitoring and control. The system is
based on a 8 QMB (Quartz Microbalances) coated with different polymer films. When a particular substance is absorbed into these films the weight of the films grows and the QMB changes his oscillation frequency. Because each
film is made of a different polymer, each one reacts to each substance, or analyte, in a slightly different way. And,
while the changes in frequency in a single QMB be enough to identify an analyte, the varied changes in 8 microbalances produce a distinctive, identifiable pattern, that can be distinguished by the units after performing an initial training.
On May 2011, NADIR participated to NASA Shuttle Mission STS-134 and was successfully tested on the International
Space Station inside the IENOSE (Italian Electronic Nose for Space Exploration) experiment.

The Imagery & Remote Sensing research group
• Mattia Crespi – Professor of Positioning and Geomatics
• Paola Capaldo – Post Doc
• Francesca Fratarcangeli – Post Doc
• Andrea Nascetti – Post Doc
• Martina Porfiri – Ph.D Student
Main present researches
1. applications of optical and radar (Synthetic Aperture Radar-SAR) High Resolution Satellite Imagery (HRSI) for Digital
Surface Models and orthophotos generation (Photogrammetric Remote Sensing)
2. applications of low-cost range cameras (e.g. Microsoft Kinect) for 3D close range modeling
HRSI Photogrammetric Remote Sensing applications:
• sensor orientation models (rigorous and RPC)
• matching strategy (patent pending)
• software implementation
• DSM generation & validation
• imagery orthorectification
Low-cost range cameras applications:
• sensor calibration
• accuracy assessment
• software implementation
SISAR (Software per Immagini Satellitari ad Alta Risoluzione)
The availability of new high resolution optical and radar spaceborne sensors offers new interesting potentialities for
the acquisition of data useful for the generation of Digital Surface Models (DSMs). The achievable accuracy level of a
Page 320 of 339
Italy
DSM is strictly related both to the image orientation and to the matching process. In SISAR both rigorous and RPFs
models are implemented, with a specific tool for the terrain-independent Rational Polynomial Coefficients (RPCs) generation. The software manages the imagery acquired by several optical sensors (EROS A, Ikonos, QuickBird, Cartosat-1, WorldView-1 and WorldView-2, GeoEye-1) and by COSMO-SkyMed, TerraSAR-X, RADARSAT-2 SAR sensors.
Therefore, in SISAR, an advanced matching method based on a coarse-to-fine hierarchical solution with an effective
combination of geometrical constrains (based on the rigorous model and the RPCs generation tool) and an Area Base
Matching (ABM) algorithm has been embedded.
Summarizing SISAR is a scientific software able to produce DSMs from the most common optical and SAR imagery and
to generate RPCs for possible use even within other commercial software.
Innovation
The two main features that characterize the innovations within SISAR are the RPCs generation tool and the matching
facility:
• The RPCs can be an useful tool in place of the rigorous model in processes both for the image orthorectification/
geocoding and for the DSMs generation. Therefore, the possibility to generate RPCs starting from a rigorous model
sounds of particular interest since, at present, the most part of SAR imagery and some of optical ones are not supplied
with RPCs, although the RPFs model is vailable in the most used commercial software
• Thanks to the developed robust and reliable matching algorithm it is now possible to use new high resolution satellite imagery to extract DSMs with good accuracy even in area with complex morphologies and with different land covers
• At present, thanks to high resolution SAR imagery (ground resolution-GSD up to 1 m), the SISAR radargrammetric
stereo-mapping approach is likely to become a serious alternative to interferometry for DSMs generation from SAR imagery. In this respect it has been already demonstrated the possibility to generate DSMs even over open and forested
area, characterized by low coherence, with just a couple of images reaching an accuracy around five meters
Target market
DSMs have been of large relevance in many engineering, land planning and environmental applications for a long
time. At present the data required for the generation of DSMs can be acquired by several sensors/techniques, among
which airborne LiDAR, aerial photogrammetry, optical and radar spaceborne sensors play the major role. In this respect, the availability of new high resolution optical and SAR spaceborne sensors offers new interesting potentialities
for DSMs generation, among which low cost, speed of data acquisition and processing and independence from logistic
difficulties. It has to be underlined the fast generation capability of SAR systems like Cosmo-SkyMed and TerraSAR-X
due to their very short revisit time and night-and-day and all-weather functionality.
Customer benefit
Public administrations in charge of mapping as well as all civil protection departments and also international agencies
devoted to security and emergencies management can take advantage of the orthorectification and the DSMs generation facilities based on high resolution optical and SAR data. High resolution satellite imagery are now available in different formats and processing levels at an affordable price, so that they already represent a possible alternative to
aerial imagery, especially for areas where the organization of photogrammetric surveying may be critical for logistic difficulties.

General co-operation: Vitrociset’s Aerospace Background and Experience
Aero Defence: Vitrociset provides the national and international customers with products and services specifically developed to meet technical, operational, logistics and administrative requirements. Among its major aero defence cus-
Page 324 of 339
Italy
tomers, it is worth mentioning: Italian Air Force, NATO Agencies (Namsa, Netma), Royal Saudi Air Force, Eurofighter
Consortium and Lockheed Martin. Vitrociset has gained experience and skills in this segment by supplying turn-key
maintenance and logistics activities for weapons systems, telecommunications and IT systems, providing also full management support for complex “mission-critical” systems. A significant example is the Fire Test Range at Salto di Quirra (PISQ) in Sardinia, Italy, used by the Italian MOD for training purposes and experimental trials on Aircraft, Missile,
Weapons and Electronic Warfare Systems. For Logistics systems, Vitrociset has developed SILEF (Logistics Information
System of the Italian Air Force) for the management of all complex defence systems such as aircraft (Eurofighter, Tornado, AMX), radars and helicopters, as well for personnel, salary and ordinary material management software utilities.
In Meteorology domain, Vitrociset has developed and integrated complex weather-data collection and processing systems cooperating with the Italian MOD as support to air navigation and flight safety. Vitrociset is a key partner of
Lockheed Martin in the F-35 (JSF) program.
ATC (Air Traffic Control): Vitrociset has acquired high-level skills and proven experience in its traditional domain
ATC, providing “state of the art” solutions based on advanced technologies. Vitrociset’s major customers include national and international ATC providers, as well as International Agencies as Eurocontrol and ICAO. Systems and services, as “Turn-key” systems, for air navigation services and area/airport ATC centres are FDP, ATC Simulators, CWP
Console, Audio & Video Recording systems, AMHS, AFTN, AIS, Communication systems (ground-air, radio links, LANs),
Mobile Air Traffic Control towers, Systems for ground checks of nav-aid operational parameters, Mobile runway lighting systems (AVL/M), Airport meteorological (LLWAS, AWOS, SADIS, ATIS, SICAM, IWS) and Airport ground-traffic management (APRON) systems.
Space: Vitrociset’s activity in the space market dates back to 1982 with the awarding of a turnkey contract for the
ESA (European Space Agency) Redu Tracking Station during the diversification process to extend its core business to
new emerging sectors. The gradual and constant expansion of its offer to the key players of the sector (ASI, CNES, Arianespace, MOD and Satellite Operators) has required the diversification of its products and services. An example is the
development of essential components of the User Segment in the HELIOS mission, as well as of the SICRAL satellite
communication system and the ESA Simulators and Control Centres. Since the early 1990s, the Company has been active in the launch site of French Guyana, in all operating centres of the ESA (ESOC, ESTEC, ESRIN), in the ground segment of the HELIOS and subsequently SICRAL missions, at the CNES, in Toulouse, for the control of ATV missions. Vitrociset develops Satellite Navigation Systems for air and maritime transport based on GALILEO and EGNOS as well as
multi-technology applications. The reliability and quality demonstrated by Vitrociset in the space market have entailed an important growth of its role in the design and integration of Major Systems, as the full responsibility in the
deployment of the VEGA carrier launch site in Kourou, French Guyana and significant components of the Soyouz
launcher.
Research & Development: Vitrociset plays a key role in the Research, Technology and Innovation, and it is a winner
competitor in the R&D calls issued by National and EU/NATO organizations, operating in an excellent R&T European
network composed by universities, research centers, SMEs and big companies. Vitrociset is involved in the current Italian Research & Technology Platforms for defining the Strategic Research Agenda, as well as in the Industrial Advisor
Study Group funded by NATO RTO. One of the main R&D sector in aerospace is the CBM (Condition Based Maintenance)
based on PHM (Prognostic Health Management), participating in the Integrated Teams at Lockheed Martin for the software development of PHM systems/tools for JSF; it awarded the EDA (European Defence Agency) JIP-ICET 1^ call with
the project “HECTOR - Helicopter fuselage Crack monitoring and prognosis through on-board sensor network”, and it
is a member of ACARE (Advanced Council for Aeronautics Research in Europe) ITALIA.
