🌌 Italy’s National Space Day 🚀

On December 16, 1964, Italy became the third country in the world to place a satellite into orbit, marking the beginning of a space legacy shaped by vision, engineering excellence and innovation.

Since San Marco 1, Italy has continued to advance across space technologies, from small satellites to Earth observation and deep-space missions.
At NPC SPACEMIND, we are proud to contribute to this ecosystem with technologies designed to operate reliably and responsibly in orbit.🛰️

Today, we celebrate the Italian National Space Day, honoring Italy’s past achievements while shaping the future of space, inspiring the next generations, and contributing to the reinforcement of Italian space excellence on the global stage.🌍
