We firstly ventured into space on board Infinite Blue, the sixth mission of D-Orbit’s ION Satellite Carrier (ION) (https://www.dorbit.space/infinite-blue-may-2022), launched on May 25, at 14:35:41 EDT (20:25:41 CEST) from the Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station (CCSFS), Florida, aboard SpaceX’s Transporter-5 mission.

Our test in space is taking place in collaboration with Politecnico di Milano (a top-ranked Italian university, positioned 9th worldwide in the specific subject Engineering – Mechanical according to QS World University Rankings), Department of Aerospace Science and Technology.

Our second venture into space launched on board SCV008 Fierce Franciscus, the seventh mission of D-Orbit’s ION Satellite Carrier (ION) (https://www.dorbit.space/second-star-to-the-right-january-2023), launched on January 3, 2023 at 9:56 a.m. ET (14:56 UTC) from the Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station (CCSFS), Florida, aboard SpaceX’s Transporter-6 mission.

After the promising results of its first space mission (still ongoing), Genergo’s second generation innovative space propulsion system (Gen-02) will test new technical specifications that will also serve for future developments.
The modeling and definition of the on-orbit experiments continue to be carried out in conjunction with the Department of Aerospace Science and Technology of the Milan Polytechnic.
