SAPIENZA SPACE TEAM:

We are one of four teams within SASA – Sapienza Aerospace Student Association, the largest Italian engineering student organization.

The team was founded in 2012 with the aim of bridging the gap between theoretical training and practical application through the development of real-world engineering systems.

Our activities focus on the design and construction of small satellites (CubeSats) and atmospheric probes, covering the entire life cycle of a space mission: from requirements definition and documentation to reentry and recovery operations.

We are a team of students for students, driven by a passion for space and supported by those who believe in our project. An organization that transforms individual enthusiasm into a collective achievement of excellence.
