The “De La Salle” together with a group of companies (Cosmind srl, Inteligentia srl) and Associations such as Sky Sentinel, Air force association, are organizing activities for the production of “Asteroid Day 2025” in which ESA support such events.
The international Asteroid Day granting access to space for everybody was introduced 2016 and was recognized by the General Assembly of the UN by the adoption of resolution A/RES/71/90
The event is nether profitable, nor commercial at an international educational level, principally directed to young students which will be held on 17th May from 10 a.m. for approximately 2 hours.
