“We should put together ourselves for a
major technological leap forward and really progressive change in
order to develop into leaders on the European and worldwide
market: as a substitute of ‘chasing’ the market with the identical options,
we must always suggest our personal improvements, which can be scalable
globally. Telecommunications, and specifically a a part of
telecommunications know-how, is Poland’s main sector in
Europe. It appears to me that that is the leap we’re most
missing.” So mentioned astronaut Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski,
talking in regards to the Polish space program throughout his go to to the
SGH Zone on the thirty fourth Economic Forum in Karpacz.
Last June, the astronaut—the second Pole in space and the
first on the International Space Station (ISS)—took half within the
Axiom Mission 4 (Ax-4). During their 18 days in space, the
worldwide crew of 4 astronauts carried out over 60
scientific experiments and outreach actions.
“I think telecommunications/navigation,” he emphasizes, “are
actually an necessary space for improvement: simply two or three
years in the past, it was actually troublesome to speak about space
applied sciences with politicians. Today, nevertheless, we’re seeing
progress on this regard. I hope that it was the Polish mission
that contributed considerably to the dialogue: this yr alone,
space investments reached one and a half billion zloty in public
cash. This has by no means occurred earlier than.”
Uznanski-Wisniewski then spoke in regards to the nice potential for
improvement in Earth statement. ‘It is optimistic,’ he
defined, ‘that we’re constructing constellations. Today, in actual fact,
even the world of telecommunications and navigation relies on
constellations. The Italian authorities is constructing a
constellation (Iride programme, ed.) much like our “Kamila”,
not based mostly on 4 satellites, however on over 60.’
‘Iride’ is a space programme promoted by the Italian
authorities and developed with funds from the National Recovery
and Resilience Plan (PNRR) with a complete funds of €1.1 billion.
It entails the creation of six satellite tv for pc constellations. It is
coordinated by the ESA with the assist of the Italian Space
Agency.
