Coming to bookstores “Spazio: la sfida del presente", a book dedicated to sustainable futures in space and on Earth

13 October 2023

Telespazio and the SEE Lab of SDA Bocconi School of Management presented the book "Spazio: la sfida del presente" written by U.S. author and journalist David W. Brown.

The book, which will be available in Italian in bookstores and online stores starting today Oct. 13, is dedicated to the theme of sustainability, in space and on Earth. The work offers readers, not necessarily space enthusiasts, an exciting journey toward a fully sustainable future. 

The English version of the book, currently in preparation, will be released in bookstores in the coming weeks.

The  theme of sustainability will also be the focus of the 75th International Astronautical Congress (IAC), the most important international event in the field of space, to be held in Milan in October 2024.

With the motto "Responsible Space for Sustainability," the event is organized by the International Astronautical Federation (IAF) and co-organized by AIDAA, ASI and Leonardo.
