Spaceglass
Proud to announce the establishment of the innovative start-up Spaceglass, a spin-off sponsored by the University of Parma.
Spaceglass aims to design and build more performing and lighter glazing for aerospace use. There is growing interest in the creation of large glass surfaces to be built on low-orbit stations, also in view of their use for space tourism. A paradigmatic example is represented by the Axiom Earth Observatory (Axeo) of the future commercial space station to be built by Axiom Space (www.axiomspace.com), whose operation in orbit is expected by 2030. Stained glass windows that can be used in other infrastructures, such as lunar bases. The design of an innovative solution is part of the growing market of the New Space Economy. Large windows are of particular effect in the promotion of space tourism. The technological transfer of composite technical solutions in the industrial field (automotive market, hypercar in particular, aeronautical market, naval market, especially luxury yachts) and more generally in the architectural field (special glass, shatterproof, bulletproof and explosion-proof) is important.
Spaceglass sees the exceptional participation of professors from the University of Parma and the University of Calabria. The team is composed of: Gianni Royer-Carfagni Carfagni, President and CEO; Giancarlo Buccarella, Vice President and legal advisor; Alessandro Tasora, responsible for modeling and experimentation in relevant environment and product industrialization; Laura Galuppi, Head of Transparent Composite Development. Giovanni Garcea, Leonardo Leonetti, Domenico Magisano of Unical, will coordinate the numerical modeling; Alessio Grasso with Kelvin273 (www.kelvin273.it), is responsible for commercial relations and strategic advisory.
A special thanks to the University of Parma, and to its Rector, prof. Paolo Andrei, for this great opportunity.
