In the Aerospace Engineering area, we have extensive experience in the field of space science and engineering, particularly in the study of physical phenomena under microgravity conditions and in the operation of experiments aboard the International Space Station (ISS). Our scientific activity focuses on research into fluid dynamics, materials, and thermal processes in microgravity, as well as on the development of new technologies for the control, monitoring, and operational support of space missions. In addition, we actively participate in the design and operation of scientific experiments for the European Space Agency (ESA), developing simulation, control, and data analysis infrastructures. We also work on the development of nanosatellite models and prototypes, ground support systems, and simulation tools for training and experimentation in the space environment.
