(ISS), ranging from the integration
of payloads to their in-orbit operation,
astronaut training and the dissemination
of the scientific data obtained.

experiments carried out on inhabited
platforms have proved useful in the
field of scientific missions and exploration,
especially in the Lunar and Mars exploration
programmes promoted by the European
Space Agency (ESA) and Italian Space
Agency (ASI).
Lastly, a growing area of activity
