Welcome to the website of the Alma Mater Microsatellite and Space Microsystems Lab. The research activity is focused to small space systems, characterized by a high degree of autonomy but also innovation, through an intelligent use of spin-in technologies borrowed from electronics, miniaturized mechanics, telecommunication and smart materials. Interested undergraduate and graduate students will find here wide opportunities to carry out internships, stages, theses at BSc, MSc and PhD level. Please do not hesitate to contact us for any further information you may need.
The first ALMASat (ALma MAter SATellite) demonstration mission is due for launch in February of 2012 on board the VEGA Maiden Flight. ALMASat-1 mission is considered as a test-bed for all the internally developed microsatellite technologies we intend to fly on future spacecraft of the ALMASat family. ALMASat-1 will fly on VEGA as part of the LARES system, thanks to an agreement with the Italian Space Agency (ASI). Read more...
