Kayser Italia S. r. l. Two experience cases • MICROSATELLITE • ALL INCLUSIVE SMALL SCIENTIFIC PAYLOAD 22 -23 March 2006 INFN LNF - Frascati Kayser Italia’s Experience on payload developments and flight opportunities for space research 9

Kayser Italia S. r. l. 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 22 -23 March 2006 INFN LNF - Frascati Kayser Italia’s Experience on payload developments and flight opportunities for space research 10

Kayser Italia S. r. l. 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.
