scientific satellites, manned spacecraft and associated
payloads, launch and space transportation systems, with
complete responsibility for research and development,
integration and testing.
.
The
Turin plant includes clean room environments and
consolidated laboratory capabilities:
- a 1100
m2
class 100.000 clean room for the assembly and
integration of space systems in which there is also
an additional small (7 x 6.5 m) class 100 clean
room, equipped with a seismic block, for high
accuracy alignment tests
and for the integration of optical payloads
- a
Metrology Laboratory joined to the S.I.T. (Italian
Calibration Organization)
- an
Attitude Control Simulation Laboratory
- a
Software Engineering Laboratory
- a
Thermo-mechanical Laboratory for structural and
environmental tests
- a Materials
and Processes Laboratory
The
Materials and Processes Laboratory has been operating
in Turin since the 1920's. It is used in the
development of aerospace programs, in particular for
the study of new materials and the preparation and
control of the main production processes. This
encompasses surface and heat treatments, coatings,
sealing, welding, forming and manufacturing of
composite structures. The
laboratory has the capacity to carry out mechanical,
metallurgical, chemical and physical tests and
non-destructive controls on a wide range of materials:
metals, composites, adhesives, paints, rubbers,
solvents, gasses, galvanic baths, waters, etc.
