Conferenza 5° anniversario: Poli5pace

On September 23rd, we celebrate the 5th Anniversary of PoliSpace, the largest space-focused student association at Politecnico di Milano, with a unique round table conference that will bring together leading experts, startups, and key players in the space industry.

The event will feature three high-profile thematic panels, exploring the most pressing topics shaping the future of space:

The Geopolitics of Space
A deep dive into global dynamics, policies, and international cooperation in space. With insights from Emilio Cozzi (journalist & author), this panel will blend political and scientific perspectives on how space innovation is reshaping our world.

Startups and Innovation
From disruptive technologies to entrepreneurial ventures, discover how new players are driving the space economy forward. Startups and companies such as Ionnion, Fast Aerospace, Leaf Space and Apogeo Space will showcase their groundbreaking visions and contributions.

The European Launch Market
A closer look at Europe’s role in the global race for launch services. Avio France and HyPr Space will present their next-generation launchers, alongside an academic perspective from the Aerospace Department (DAER), to explore challenges and opportunities for Europe’s future in orbit.

Between panels, PoliSpace members will reveal the latest progress on our flagship projects:

• 6S CubeSat – our upcoming satellite mission

• MEEVA-V2 – advancing EVA spacesuit innovation

• Rover Kairos – our rover for the European Rover Challenge

Through engaging discussions and exclusive insights, this anniversary event will be more than a celebration — it will be a window into the future of the space ecosystem, where academia, industry, and innovation converge.
