Astronauts, executives and space industry experts will gather on September 11–12 for LarioSpace 2025, an international event on innovation and technologies in the New Space Economy, hosted at Telespazio’s Lario Space Centre on Lake Como.

Leonardo, through e-GEOS, a company owned by the Italian Space Agency (20%) and Telespazio (80%), will support the Department for Sustainable Development (DiSS) of the Italian Ministry of the Environment and Energy Security (MASE) in the development of a Digital Twin of the Italian territory. The initiative falls under PNRR investment M2C4 I.1.1, which focuses on the development of an advanced monitoring and forecasting system. This high-resolution digital model of the terrain, built using airborne laser surveys (LiDAR) and aerogravimetric data, will serve as a strategic asset for understanding the morphology of the land and will lay the foundation for future Digital Twins capable of simulating and further studying its behaviour.

The operational phase of the drone-based hospital drug delivery service officially launched today in Abruzzo. The initiative is part of the European U-ELCOME project (U-space European COMmon dEpLoyment), co-funded by the Horizon programme, and aims to foster the widespread adoption of U-space services in European airspace, enabling safe and coordinated operations alongside traditional aircraft.

Telespazio has successfully completed the LEOP (Launch and Early Orbit Phase) operations for the MTG-S1 weather satellite of EUMETSAT, launched on July 1st from Cape Canaveral.
