Sector

Space

Product/Objective

Research and development activities were geared towards creating a set of innovative tools and technologies to construct space- and ground-based technological infrastructures to acquire, process and manage satellite data (Earth observation and space exploration), as well as to provide operators and end-users (regional and scientific bodies) with the necessary tools (innovative products and value-added services) for their operational, management and decision-making activities in both the application and the management of data acquired from scientific missions.

Project Summary

The project covered a wide range of space-related issues ranging from exploration of the Universe to Earth observation, including systems, the management of remote data reception, and awareness-raising activities for regional consumer acceptance of the use of space systems.

Innovation

The theme of the exploration of the Universe was also strategically important to the scientific and industrial team. There were five key areas of focus: innovative sensors for the exploration of the universe, electric propulsion, unconventional propulsion, space transport, and plasma phenomena and processes in space.

ES Role

EnginSoft was involved in the development, including the graphical user interface (GUI) of the decision-making software for a 3D kinetic code for simulating plasma thrusters.

Some of our competences in research and technology transfer

Research project

INFOS

INternationalisation of Veneto FOundry by networked Strategies

The project supports some of the companies within the SINFONET network in using high value services, assistance, orientation, coaching, information, and export promotion to promote not only their individual companies but also the overall foundry supply chain.

Research project

FORCE

Formulations and Computational Engineering

The project aimed to develop an open integrated framework that connects materials models at various levels of complexity, experimental data sets and commercial information (e.g. ingredients and processing costs), so that decision makers can use a wider variety of key performance indicators.

Research project

STAR-EXD

Simulation Technology Aeronautic Research – EXperimental Data

A virtual design environment dedicated to the study of surface hardening (carburizing and nitride hardening) and of welding of alloy steel products.
