Kayser Italia’s background From system development up to flight opportunity • Manned and un-manned missions with different carriers and spacecraft: • Russian Soyuz for: • FOTON and BION Capsule • Progress • Soyuz • Space shuttle • Sounding Rockets (MASER, TEXUS, MAXUS) • Parabolic flight • Sounding balloons Kayser Italia’s Experience on payload developments and flight opportunities for space research

8. Since 1988 4 Balloon campaign 3 Parabolic flights campaign 4 Sounding Rocket payload 10 Russian satellite mission : 14 Biology experiments 5 thermodynamics & fluids experiments 2 fundamental physic 1 agronomy 1 micro-satellite 6 STS flights 7 Biology experiments 2 thermodynamics & fluids experiments 5 ISS mission 5 medicine experiments 1 fundamental physic 1 agronomy Kayser Italia’s Experience on payload developments and flight opportunities for space research

9. Two experience cases • MICROSATELLITE • ALL INCLUSIVE SMALL SCIENTIFIC PAYLOAD Kayser Italia’s Experience on payload developments and flight opportunities for space research

10. MICROSATELLITE –The TEMISAT • 40 Kg micro-satellite for Environmental Data Collection • 900 Km orbit • Launched as piggy back of a Russian METEOR-satellite • 16 months of operative orbit • OAC from Kayser Italia plant • 18 months from the idea up to the launch campaign TEMISAT FM Kayser Italia’s Experience on payload developments and flight opportunities for space research

11. ALL INCLUSIVE SMALL SCIENTIFIC PAYLOAD The project has been conducted using an autonomous experiment container developed by Kayser Italia, the BIOKON • BIOKON has been customized for SCORPI-T needs under a contract with ESA which comprised the hardware development, the mission support and the flight procurement. • Therefore, KI has been in charge for all interfaces with the Russian authorities and flight responsible/mission management. • This contract have been realized by taking advantage of an existing flight opportunity agreement between KI and the Russian authorities.
