An Italian astronaut will walk on the Moon under the terms of a landmark agreement signed in Washington by Italy’s enterprise minister Adolfo Urso and NASA administrator Jared Isaacman.
The announcement on Tuesday marks a watershed moment for Italian space exploration and cements the nation’s position as an indispensable partner in humanity’s return to the lunar surface.
Teodoro Valente, president of the Italian Space Agency (ASI), confirmed the news in a post on X, writing that the deepening cooperation between NASA and ASI „will lead to the creation of a base camp on the Moon and an Italian astronaut walking on the lunar surface.“
Made in Italy
At the heart of the agreement is Italy’s commitment to design and build habitation modules for astronauts stationed on the Moon.
In a statement, Minister Urso described the deal as „an important recognition for Italy and for our companies, which will be called upon to build habitation modules designed to allow a safe and prolonged presence of astronauts on the Moon. The astronauts‘ ‚home‘ will be ‚Made in Italy‘, built with Italian technologies and by Italian companies.“
The statement of intent signed by Urso and Isaacman provides for collaboration between Italy and the US on habitation modules, communication systems and scientific activities on the lunar surface, with the goal of establishing a stable and long-term human presence on the moon.
The agreement sits within the framework of the Artemis programme, which aims to develop a sustainable lunar base under American leadership, with Italy playing a central technological role.
The minister was equally clear about the timeline and location of production. „This bilateral cooperation will allow us to bring an Italian astronaut to the Moon soon, in a habitation module that will be built in Italy, in Turin,“ Urso declared, pointing to the city’s well-established aerospace industrial cluster as the engine of this endeavour.
The overall objective, according to the minister, is to see it all realised within the next seven to ten years.
super mario galaxy ?
Surely there won’t be loads of jokes about Italian stereotypes in the comments
Italy going sooner to the moon than to the World Cup…
Was kinda obvious an italian was gonna one of the first in europe, since Italy is the second most important space power in europe.
On one side i believe us very capable in developing space tech, we have some excellencies in that sector.
On the other side, we are building the Moon habs? The places where people are supposed to live on the moon? Maronna santissima, siamo fottuti.
Already happened, Buzz Aldrin is from New Jersey
Give that man a kitchen and spaghetti!
Waa-hoo!
Marketing for the new Mario Galaxy movie has gone too damn far, Sky Italia. Stop it. /s
If they can go to the World Cup, they could compensate with the moon.
Who cares about who. We want to know when.
Luigi is gonna clear out all the turtles.
There is much more important science our money could be used for than sending a glorified passengers to get to the Moon.
He saw our national football team’s match against Bosnia and wanted to leave planet Earth.
Understandable.
just to find out is not made of cheese. His quest for ultimate pasta is not real.
