PERCHÉ LO #SPORT IN OHB Italia S.p.A.? #3 - STIMOLA LA #CREATIVITÀ Ebbene, cosa è la creatività? Si tratta dello sviluppo e dell’espressione di idee innovative per la soluzione di problemi o per la soddisfazione di bisogni. E cosa stimola la creatività? Senza dubbio la capacità di #immaginazione, la #motivazione, l'abilità di accettare l’#insuccesso, l'#ascolto, l' #accettazione di divergenze e la #focalizzazione interiore. Tutte caratteristiche che ritroviamo e mettiamo in campo durante una #sessionesportiva (i volti concentrati, gli sforzi atletici, le tattiche di gioco che si possono osservare nell'immagine sottostante ne sono una prova schiacciante!). Da cestinare subito le #falsecredenze: 1. la creatività è appannaggio esclusivo dei pochi eroi che osano assumersi dei rischi; 2. i giovani sono più creativi degli anziani; 3. più si è intelligenti più si è creativi, ecc.. Joy Paul #Guilford (psicologo statunitense) avvicina la creatività a ciò che viene definito #pensierodivergente, che poi è l'opposto del pensiero convergente (ragionamento logico-razionale). Si tratta di quel pensiero che permette di creare alternative, che non prevede un'unica risoluzione possibile e che va ben oltre la situazione di partenza. Ci catapulta in nuove #direzioni, nuove #possibilità e quindi nuove #prospettive. Originalità, fluidità, flessibilità, capacità di elaborazione e ri-elaborazione sono tutti fattori cardine del c.d. #pensierolaterale. Ma come possiamo allenare tale "pensiero-fuori-dagli-schemi"? Facendo sport! Si tratta di una modalità piacevole, salutare, appagante che consente quel guizzo creativo, che impatta positivamente, tra l'altro, anche sulla nostra #autostima e sul nostro senso di #autoefficacia. www.ohb-italia.it

COMET INTERCEPTOR: Progress Meeting # 6 in Milano.   OHB Italia S.p.A. with European Space Agency - ESA, Sener Aerospace & Defence, OHB Sweden and OHB SE, reviewed some days ago the status of the #CometInterceptor Mission.   Which was the important #outcome? The outputs are in line with the expectation: the main #target of this meeting was to think how to “freeze” the satellite design and to move on to the manufacturing, integration and testing of the flight unit.   What’s #next? The system is now ready for the next very important #milestone, the Critical Design Review (#CDR) within the end of the year: at that point in time the team will start gathering the various flight parts, already tested and accepted, to be integrated and will start to test them at subsystem level.   As everybody can see in the picture, this hard work earned the whole team a tasty #Italiandinner to strengthen the good relationships between colleagues even more! www.ohb-italia.it

#FLYEYE: NEW FRONTIERS IN ASTRONOMICAL SCIENCE   At the end of June 2024, one of the most important technical event for ground-based, airborne, space-based telescopes and their supporting instrumentation, the “SPIE Telescopes + Instrumentation”, took place in Yokohama, Japan. In the frame of such valuable venue, an important #paper was presented to the public by OHB Italia S.p.A. (Prime Contractor), INAF - Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica, Università degli Studi di Padova (UNIPD) / University of Padua, #StudioSOME: “FLYEYE GROUND BASED TELESCOPE: UNVEILING NEW FRONTIERS IN ASTRONOMICAL SCIENCE”.   Leading star of the scene was the pioneering FLYEYE Telescope, which integrates a monolithic 1-meter class primary mirror feeding 16 cameras for discovering Near-Earth Object (#NEO) and any class of transient phenomena on a collision course with Earth, providing crucial advance notice of potential #impacts within weeks or days.   The FLYEYE distinctive design splits the #FieldofView into 16 channels, creating a unique multi-telescope system with a panoramic 44 square degree Field of View. While traditional telescopes provide snapshots that may miss critical changes or phenomena that occur rapidly or irregularly, the FLYEYE rapid scanning capability adds dynamic, capturing data across a wide spectrum of #celestialevents (fast radio bursts, high energy phenomena, development of supernovae, interaction of binary star system).   Placed atop #Mufara Mount in Sicily and robotized, FLYEYE ability to survey two-thirds of the visible #sky about three times per night will revolutionize #astronomy, enabling comprehensive studies of transient phenomena, placing FLYEYE in a new era of exploration of the dynamic universe.   The Telescope can strategically work in #synergy with other major astronomical projects, the Vera Rubin Telescope and the Zwicky Transient Facility. This integration can extend capabilities of this existing and planned observational infrastructures, by adding additional measurements in the visible sky or additional Earth longitude coverage. Such monitoring can lead to #breakthroughs in understanding the structure and the evolution of the ever-changing #universe, in opening new avenues for #discovery and in giving to astronomers new tools available to study the temporal aspects of the #cosmos.   www.ohb-italia.it

OHB Italia S.p.A. @ ASI WORKSHOP: "ITALIAN ENGAGEMENT IN THE CUBESAT SECTOR: FUTURE TECHNOLOGIES AND MISSIONS"- 2nd EDITION #CubeSats are changing both the market and the space industry, thanks to their low cost and fast development time. They are also playing an important role in the 'democratisation of space'. With their deployment in constellations, CubeSats are facing a new #revolution that will lead them to be increasingly deployed as an alternative to or in synergy with traditional satellites in areas as remote sensing, surveillance tracking, astrophysics, space weather, Solar System exploration, etc.   In this context, the Agenzia Spaziale Italiana launched the #ALCOR programme in 2022, dedicated to the development of enabling technologies and to the realisation of application, scientific and technology demonstration missions using CubeSats. On 02-04 July the Agency organised a #newedition of the workshop in order to update the national community on its achievements.   In such environment OHB Italia S.p.A. presented an #Abstract on #SATURNmission with Franco Boldrini, Chief Business Development and Sales Officer.   “OHB Italia S.p.A. completed for ASI, in the frame of the ALCOR program, a Phase A/B contract for a mission called SATURN (Synthetic AperTure radar cUbesat formation flyiNg), based on the key technology “Cooperative Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (#MIMO) Swarms of SAR MicroSats”. In SATURN the SAR measurements, normally concentrated in a single, large and complex satellite, are distributed among small-sized and simpler systems, thanks to the proper combination of the signals from each single node of the #swarm. Such constellation of swarms, deployed on different #orbitalplanes, allows high revisit time and high performance, independently from the available daylight and cloud cover. Simulations have confirmed that the SATURN mission can successfully achieve the resolution and swath coverage objectives. The SATURN team is actively engaged in #research and #development activities to further optimize the spacecraft's performance. This forward-thinking approach ensures the mission remains at the forefront of technological #innovation. As a result, SATURN will become the first ever Space SAR MIMO mission. “SATURN swarms” configured from 3 up to 36 MicroSats will be a super #EarthExplorer” thanks to its great #versatility and #reconfigurability. The MIMO Paradigm allows enhancing real-time #3Dimaging associated with a very short revisit time, particularly suitable to #changedetection and early #warningservices. The innovative SATURN mission architecture paves the way for the future of SAR imaging.”   The workshop arranged by ASI had the important target to promote #awareness, to consolidate and improve the #capabilities of the national supply chain and to stimulate relations, #cooperation and networking between the players of the space sector. www.ohb-italia.it

CONTRIBUTION TO IRIDE CONSTELLATION OHB Italia S.p.A. is developing for the European Space Agency - ESA, #24satellites (first batch and second batch) as part of the #IRIDE constellation in the frame of #PNRR (Piano Nazionale Ripresa e Resilienza). IRIDE stands as one of the most prominent European #SpacePrograms in the field of #EarthObservation. Its realization is set to occur in Italy, through the Government’s initiative, leveraging resources from the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) supplemented by the funds of the National Supplementary Plan (PNC). IRIDE is a satellite system which is expected to be operational by June 2026, under the coordination of the ESA, with the strong involvement of the Agenzia Spaziale Italiana. OHB Italia will deliver a constellation of Eaglet II satellites and the related Flight Operation System (#FOS). it is responsible for satellite development, launch, in-orbit management and dual-use space asset, which provides an unprecedent persistent surveillance capability. #Services generated by the constellation will be destined to marine/terrestrial #surveillance; #climatechange; atmospheric #monitoring; #security; #emergencymanagement.
