How does Cesi's investment, partially funded by the PNRR, contribute to the growth of the space industry, and what is its impact on job creation?

The increased demand for space-based solar cells stems from the proliferation of smaller, more numerous satellites in large constellations. Cesi's advanced cells, used in over 100 space missions, offer superior performance and resilience compared to standard panels, meeting the need for cost-effective and efficient power sources for these missions. This technology, developed with support from the Italian and European Space Agencies, showcases Italy's leadership in the sector.
