Iperdrone program, funded by the Italian Space Agency and developed by a consortium composed by CIRA, Tyvak International and Kayser Italia, aims at developing satellites for proximity operations and In-Orbit Servicing applications. The program will be implemented through several missions with incremental objectives. The first mission Iperdrone.0 is a 6U nanosatellite launched in 2024 and aiming at demonstrating the capability to simulate proximity operation and rendez-vous maneuvers (relative positioning around in-orbit target considering keep out zones), as well as qualification of mission-enabling technologies and execute controlled re-entry in a pre-defined corridor.
