    • ASOC-0g ( Automatic Satellite for Object Carring in 0 g )

      Project Members from this location
      • Alessandro Pianese

      Our project aims to design an automatic drone for the delivery of items or equipment up to a weight of 2,0 Kg. We think this drone could help the crew by fullfilling the task of carrying object in the ISS, so the crew's members could focus on more relevant activities.
