The mission will make the most detailed study of a comet ever attempted; it will follow the comet on its journey through the inner Solar System, measuring how its activity will evolve as the icy surface is warmed up by the Sun. Italian contribute to Rosetta orbiter with: #Realization of VIRTIS instrument to make spectral mapping of the comet surface #Realization of GIADA instrument to determine size, velocity and quantity of dust grains in the Comet environment #Realization of the Wide Angle Camera-WAC for the OSIRIS optical camera suite Italian contribute to Philae with: #Realization, with DLR and CNES, of the Philae lander #Realization of SD2 Instrument to drill the comet surface and acquire samples– #Realization of thePhilae’s Solar panels (SELEX-ES) 10th Ilan Ramon Conference 2015 Sunday 1 February 15 Imaging Spectrometer Remote sensing Payloads Cameras Cassini Exomars Dawn Rosetta Rosetta Juno Venus Express SAR Radar Cassini Optical suite Sounding radar Radioscience BepiColombo Mars Express Cassini MRO Juno Bepicolombo 10th Ilan Ramon Conference 2015Padua January 2010 Sunday 1 February 15 Observation of the Universe Astrophysics and Astroparticles # Fermi/Glast NASA mission for the study of gamma rays, launched in 2010 # Agile (Astrorivelatore Gamma ad Immagini ultra Leggero) National mission for gamma rays research in deep space, launched in 2007 # SWIFT NASA mission Astrophysics Telescope Satellite for the observation of cosmic explosions # Nu-Star NASA mission High energy X-Astrophysics mission AMS, on board of the ISS, seeker " Next mission: Contribution to the ESA large for antimatter X-ray space observatory ATHENA, launch 2025 10th Ilan Ramon Conference 2015 Sunday 1 February 15 Astrophysics and Cosmology missions XMM AGILE Integral Herschel Fermi Swift Pamela Planck Nu-Star AMS-2 $ATHENA 10th Ilan Ramon Conference 2015 Sunday 1 February 15 In situ instruments Philae H-ASI DLR-ASI-CNES SD2 MA-MISS DREAMS 10th Ilan Ramon Conference 2015 Sunday 1 February 15 Manned Exploration and ISS Italy is the first country Columbus/ATV Node 2 and 3 in Europe in the ISS More than 50% of pressurized volume has been built in Italy (TAS-I) MPLM/PMM Cupola Sunday 1 February 15 Since 1992 7 Italian astronauts have flown into Space 10th Ilan Ramon Conference 2015 Sunday 1 February 15 The first italian woman in space Samantha Cristoforetti reached the ISS in November 2014 120 scientists have contributed with 20 payloads and 2 scientific facilities onboard.
