Abstract

In the era of the space economy, satellite services represent a key element that must be valued and promoted by institutions at a local and global level. Satellites for Earth Observation, Navigation and Telecommunications represent the space sectors with the most significant growth, not only due to the level of maturity, quality and quantity of existing operational infrastructures, but especially for the diffusion potential for connected applications and services. They are suitable for ensuring sustainable economic development, promoting significant progress in various sectors and generating benefits for citizens and society. For this reason, they have been recognized as the top strategic priorities of Italian space policies. The Italian Space Agency is the government body responsible for promoting space technology for the development of the Country, for this reason has set up a program, called Innovation for Downstream Preparation, dedicated to Public and Commercial Operators to best meet their needs. The main goal of this initiative is to stimulate the growth of the downstream sector, offering concrete support for the creation of innovative space solutions for the emerging demand and, at the same time, consolidating and enriching the existing national know-how both from a scientific and industrially point of view. This work aims to provide an overview of the main projects within the I4DP initiative, dedicated both to the direct monitoring of infrastructures, such as the verification of the stability of bridges, roads and other critical infrastructures, and to the monitoring of the effects that climatic and natural events might have on them.
