The Italian Space Agency (ASI), established in 1988, is a government agency responsible for funding, regulating, and coordinating space exploration activities in Italy. ASI plays a key role in defining national strategies in the space sector, promoting Italian participation in European projects, and fostering international collaborations with entities like NASA and ESA. It oversees the National Aerospace Plan and manages facilities like the Broglio Space Centre. ASI is also involved in Earth observation programs, space propulsion research (leading the VEGA rocket program), and satellite communication developments.
