CZ-10C is a full-methane rocket.

CZ-10C has a lift-off thrust of 1,260 t.

The global telecom regulators have not yet decided to change the GEO/Non-GEO interference limits.

European regulators appear willing to let the 25-year-old GEO/Non-GEO interference limits remain in place for now.

Confindustria intends to use the aerospace, defense, and security model as a replicable tool for other strategic Italian industries.

Adolfo Urso linked the Artemis program to Luca Parmitano’s role as pilot of Artemis III.

Confindustria estimates that meeting the NATO defense-spending target could raise Italy’s cumulative GDP by about 3%, or 51 billion euros.

Italy’s cybersecurity market exceeds 2.2 billion euros.

The Italian government has allocated 7.8 billion euros through 2028 to support the national space ecosystem.

Connext Filiere Aerospazio, Difesa e Sicurezza was presented with Adolfo Urso, Leonardo, Fincantieri, and Avio Aero in attendance.

CTNA and Confindustria estimate that the Italian aerospace sector invests about 5% of its revenue in research and development.

Adolfo Urso linked the Artemis program to a lunar habitation module developed in Turin by Italian industry.

More than 80% of the Italian aerospace supply chain consists of highly specialized small and medium-sized enterprises.

Confindustria says that reaching NATO’s defense-spending target of 3.5% of GDP by 2035 requires a long-term industrial strategy.

Italy’s cybersecurity market is growing at more than 12% per year.

CTNA and Confindustria estimate that the Italian aerospace sector employs 54,300 workers.

Confindustria estimates that the GDP increase would be much smaller, at no more than 0.9%, if defense-spending growth were directed mainly to foreign suppliers.

Confindustria launched Connext Filiere Aerospazio, Difesa e Sicurezza to strengthen the Italian aerospace and defense supply chain.

CTNA and Confindustria estimate that the Italian aerospace sector generates more than 21.4 billion euros in revenue.

Sedaro’s platform is intended to help the U.S. Space Force model, connect, and evaluate space architectures within a unified virtual environment.

Space Systems Command selected Sedaro to develop a first-of-its-kind federated digital engineering platform.

Sedaro and Space Systems Command are replacing rigid, static documentation with dynamic, cloud-native digital twins for complex systems engineering.

The platform is designed to let military planners simulate entire operational mission threads end-to-end.

Space Systems Command is using digital engineering to compress procurement timelines and verify structural dependencies before physical hardware arrives at a launchpad.

Sedaro’s platform is designed to securely link disparate federated tools and analytical models into a single high-fidelity simulation engine.

Ángel Moratilla has warned that dependence on external servers and foreign-controlled services can endanger space systems and assets.

Ángel Moratilla said onboard AI in satellites must operate within very limited energy constraints.

Fernando Gómez-Carpintero says Spain can supply energy-management electronics for missions ranging from lunar flights to LEO constellations.

The congress identified defense, security, cybersecurity, space debris management, and safe end-of-life satellite disposal as key challenges for the Spanish space sector.

The panel on critical future technologies included Álvaro Giménez of CSIC, Fernando Gómez-Carpintero of Airbus Crisa, Miguel Ángel Molina of GMV, Fernando García of Indra, and Ángel Moratilla of INTA.

Fernando Gómez-Carpintero said Europe has a significant dependence on semiconductors, gallium nitride, and high-capability integrated circuits for space use.

Miguel Ángel Molina said Spain should specialize in safe, intelligent, and resilient operation of European space infrastructure.

Spain has strong capabilities in power electronics, active communications antennas, and carbon-fiber satellite structures.

Airbus Crisa says Europe needs a heavy launch vehicle capable of putting astronauts into orbit and competitively launching constellations.

Fernando Gómez-Carpintero said Spain can supply power-management electronics at a top level for missions ranging from the Moon to LEO constellations.

Satellite onboard AI must make autonomous decisions in flight while operating within very limited power constraints.

Miguel Ángel Molina of GMV proposed shifting from "strategic sovereignty" to "sovereignty through relevance" by making Spain indispensable to other countries.

Fernando García of Indra says a plant dedicated to gallium nitride has been opened in Galicia.

Airbus identified a heavy-lift launcher capable of putting astronauts into orbit and launching constellations competitively as Europe’s top priority for space access.

Álvaro Giménez of the CSIC moderated the panel with Fernando Gómez-Carpintero of Airbus Crisa, Miguel Ángel Molina of GMV, Fernando García of Indra, and Ángel Moratilla of the INTA.

Fernando García of Indra said Spain has opened a gallium nitride production plant in Galicia.

Miguel Ángel Molina of GMV argues that Spain should become a strategically indispensable partner by making European space infrastructure operable.

Spain has established capabilities in power electronics, active communications antennas, and carbon-fiber satellite structures.

European space companies face a significant dependence on semiconductors, gallium nitride, and high-capacity integrated circuits for space use.

The Congress of Space Engineering identifies defense, security, cybersecurity, space-debris management, and safe end-of-life satellite destruction as priorities for the Spanish space sector.
