• The SIMONA (Development of a ship launcher extraction system demonstrator) Program aims to make a major advance towards an Italian capacity for independent access to space. The approach is a launch based on a manned naval platform, for the safety of which it is essential to develop a system to remove the orbital vector before commanding its ignition. The design, construction and testing of a demonstrator for this system is envisaged, as well as an economic sustainability analysis of the complete launch system.  CUP: ZB53C08D53 FUNDING: 37.800,00 €
