Une exposition à l'aéroport de Turin met en lumière la contribution de Thales Alenia Space aux grands programmes spatiaux
The exhibition is designed to highlight the industrial and scientific heritage of Turin, and Thales Alenia Space’s major contributions to landmark space programs.
"I am very proud of the long-standing ties between our company and the city of Turin,” said Donato Amoroso, CEO of Thales Alenia Space Italy. “Organizing an exhibition in this strategic venue reflects our goal of showing how the space industry is an integral part of Turin’s economic and social development."
Built over 40 years ago, Thales Alenia Space’s Turin plant is deeply-rooted in the area. It covers some 50,000 square meters, including labs, clean rooms and production areas, and has made major contributions to leading scientific and Solar System exploration missions, including the construction of modules for the International Space Station and the development of the IXV reentry vehicle.
