The DIE has a historical tradition in the field of space technology, as confirmed by the large number of projects supported by the Italian Space Agency (ASI) and European Space Agency (ESA), in which the DIE has been and is still involved. As an example of the historical involvement in research of great significance both nationally and internationally within the space, it should be mentioned that the Principal Investigator of ITALSAT was Prof. Francesco Valdoni, Professor at the DIE until 2002.
The DIE has maintained this tradition and today offers skills in the following areas:
