This advanced space vehicle, developed for the Italian Space
Agency, was launched aboard SpaceX's Transporter 11 mission, on
August 16th, 2024 from Vandenberg Space Force Base marking a
significant milestone in Tyvak International's contributions to
space exploration and technology. The program consortium includes
Centro Italiano Ricerche Aerospaziali (CIRA) and Kayser Italia.
Tyvak International is responsible for the satellite hardware and
software development, assembly, integration, testing, and launch
integration service. Additionally, all on-orbit operations will be
planned and executed from their Mission Operations Center
collocated in Turin.
The IPERDRONE Program is structured as a sequence of missions,
with incremental objectives, starting with the demonstration of new
technologies, moving on to the inspection of space assets, and
culminating in the return of the spacecraft to Earth. The first
mission named IPERDRONE.0, is focused on validation and
demonstration of key technology, specifically the proximity
operations algorithms, the inspection cameras, and the propulsion
system. These elements create the foundation upon which the entire
program can advance.
The next IPERDRONE missions will target collaborative space
assets and investigate advanced control mechanisms to steer the
space vehicle's downward journey and novel materials designed to
shield it from the extreme temperatures encountered during
atmospheric re-entry.
