Bridging Worlds: Italians at the Forefront of Science ans Space

Join us for a special event celebrating the groundbreaking work of Italian scientists and engineers shaping the future of space exploration, technology, and scientific innovation. In collaboration with the Italian Scientists and Scholars in North America Foundation (ISSNAF), this is a unique opportunity to engage with leading researchers who are pushing the boundaries of knowledge across disciplines—from planetary science and remote sensing to deep space missions.

Discover how Italian talent is helping map soil moisture from Low Earth Orbit with SMAP (Paolo Focardi) and surface mineralogy and wildfires detection with ECOSTRESS (Federico Rabuffi). Monitor how Earth is constantly changing with NISAR (Marco Lavalle) and the latest AI strategies for Earth Observation satellites (Domenico Barretta), and explore the red planet with Mars Rover innovations (Maco Dolci, Dalia Raafat). Dive into the mysteries of Jupiter’s moon with Europa Clipper (Alessandro Rettura, Stefano Campagnola), study winds from space with COWVR (Federica Polverari, Paolo Focardi), and witness the future of robotic exploration on our Moon with the CADRE rovers (Federico Rossi). Explore the world of ATLO (Assembly, Test and Launch Operations) for Europa Clipper and NEO Surveyor (Valentina Ricchiuti), and learn more about NASA’s collaboration with an Italian start-up (Giulia Cerfeda) and groundbreaking astronomy and radar projects like JWST (Diana Scognamiglio) and the Raincube and INCUS missions (Simone Tanelli, Paolo Focardi).
