Italy's first electric satellite MicroHetSat is in full operation and regularly transmitting its data from space. It was built in the laboratories of Sitael in Mola di Bari, a company of Angel Group, a grouping of nearly 3,000 employees engaged in various fronts of innovation, particularly in transportation. MicroHetSat, funded by the space agency ASI, has become a symbol of Italy's largest private space company because it integrates systems conceived entirely in house and produced by collaboration with other national companies as well as CIRA (Capua Aerospace Research Center). One of the most cutting-edge elements installed is the "Hall Effect" plasma engine made in the Pisa facility, which,with small thrusts and reduced consumption, allows the satellite to raise and lower its orbit as needed as if it were an elevator. All this is managed from the control center in Forli. At the end of the mission there will be the disintegration of the satellite in the atmosphere avoiding its transformation into scrap metal.
