The industry and CISAS collaboration for Mars exploration projects interest diversified fields: IPSE (Italian Package for Scientific Experiments); SRA (SmallRobotic Arm); Mole Ground Demonstrator;SoRa.
The WAC will obtain images of the cometary nucleus and gases over the wide FoV of 12x12 sq. deg, in optical and UV, with the aim to reconstruct the 3D-shape of comet Wirtanen, aid in the identification of the Lander descent area, and closely follow the time evolution of the large scale phenomena.
CISAS Hypervelocity Impact Facility is based upon a two-stage Light-Gas Gun (LGG), that can achieve a very high shot-repetition-rate (up to 10 shots per day) together with low operational costs.
"Purpose of CISAS is to promote, to coordinate and to perform studies and research in space activities which can develop interdisciplinary education and collaboration among Basic Sciences, Applied Research and industrial realisation."
