7. Competitiveness/European Non Dependance ASI Technology Development Scheme
Value Chain Stimulation, Coordination, and Consolidation
Last Workshops: Small Satellites, Quantum Technologies and Photonics, Additive Manufacturing, EEE components, Critical Technologies for EU non Dependence
IOV-IOD support
European Non Dependence
Participation to European JTF (ESA - EDA - EC) for the definition of «Urgent List of Actions» (last issue )
Under favourable conditions stimulation of Second Sources

8. ASI & EEE Components

9. 1st National ASI Workshop on EEE Components for Space Apps
18-20 January 2016
280 participants, 42 presenters, 22 stands
Defined as «The beginning of a new path»
To focus, define and foster:
National perspectives, European Cooperation with ESA and EC, International framework
Evidence needs like on Non Dependance and Double sources
Target e.g. PLATiNO Platform

10. ASIF program ASI Supported Irradiation Facilities
ASIF is a national program (started in 2015) for the implementation of an interactive portal/network, web-based gateway, of radiation facilities (ENEA, INFN) to allow users to access dedicated testing/experiments/analysis services.
ESA agreed to support ASI in assessing the suitability of these
facilities for space application related to irradiation characterization activities
Main goals:
Increase and transfer knowledge on elementary particles effects from the world of research to space industry and large scientific community
Defining testing procedures, protocols according to space models applied for EO, deep space, long-term missions, human space flight
Standardizing new test methods, operations
