Space Robotics in Apulia: Driving Innovation and Exploration

1. A 4S Strategy for Apulia Region DTA & ARTI views on the Smart Specialization Strategy with a focus on Space Robotic Exploration ALTEC, Torino, 16 March 2018 Fiorella Coliolo, DTA

2. Summary • The RegionalDimension of Space • European Space Sustainability & 3S Strategy • InterclusterCooperation: Focus on Piedmont Cluster • Facts and Figures in ApulianAerospace Sector • Robotic Exploration in Apulia Region

3. The Regional Dimension of Space « Space for Regions » is at the core of Nereus vision Demand side, to promote space applications for the benefits of citizens and modernization of public administration Supply side, to facilitate interregional and inter-cluster cooperation Space Technologies & Applications  fundamental to foster new business & address social, economic & security challenges with efficient, sustainable tools

4. European Space Sustainability & 3S Strategy Smart Specialization: pillar “ European Strategy 2020” Aerospace ->innovative driver of the Puglia 3S One goal -> to connect infrastructures & environment to achieve the SDGs, in line with our regional strategy4sustainability -> crucial for our future and essential for our environment

5. Intercluster Cooperation Apulia Space Strategy -> Intercluster cooperation DTA -> several cooperation agreement with other Clusters in Europe DTA & Piedmont Cluster working together -> founders of CTNA,; cooperation with industries, universities & research centers in aerospace Interregional cooperation -> the Italian Space Economy programme -> a program dimension exceeding 1 B€ in the next 3 years Bilateral cooperation: Grottaglie test bed ->facility for testing & exploiting UAV & their integration with Space Technology -> Piedmont expertise can benefit of such strong cooperation with Apulia

7. APULIAN AEROSPACE SECTOR: FACTS & FIGURES Research and development/Project value 101 Mio€ Training/ Project value 15 Mio€ Industrial Initiatives/ Project value 70 Mio€ 2012-2017 Apulia -> Region with the biggest growth in the national aerospace field -> Increasing: employees, sales, exports, new enterprises, number of researchers and research labs, private and public investments.

8. DTA Space Projects • Some examples • Apulia Space, R&D project, to highlight regional scientific and industrial to develop methodology and innovative technologies at users, Earth and space level for space missions • SpaceWave - clusters waving the flag to the internationalisation of european SMEs taking advantage of the cross-sectoral dimension of earth observation for blue growth • Copernicus User Uptake – to promote and disseminate Copernicus applications

9. DTA Education Project – Destinazione Futuro SAVE THE DATE - 23 MAY 2018 www.destinazionefuturo.it • 150 Apulianschools • 550 teachers • 15.600 students • Kit of STEM jobs • Workshop • Webpage

10. SAVE THE DATE 24 May 2018 Global Space Economic Workshop   « Space Cybersecurity for Mobility » Venue: Rosamarina, Ostuni, Brindisi, Apulia, Italy

11. Robotic Exploration in Apulia Region Apulian international leadership in Earth Observation -> paves the way to the exploration of other planets What? Apulia in Space-> from the International Space Station to Mars exploration; from the observation planets to the study of the Universe; from charting stars to monitoring solar activities How? Fundamental -> cooperation of universities, research centers and space companies with National Space Agencies & ESA Why? Key for research, technology & industrial leadership of European space industry

12. Accademic Research • 1. Planetary exploration - Bari University, DTA member • Data Analisys - ESA Rosetta, Mars Express missions; NASA/ESA/ASI Cassini-Huygens • International Space Station • IRISINA experimentlaunched by Dragon next April to the ISS -> Osteoporosisstudies • 2.
