“Italy goes to Mars!” ASI President Theodoro Valente has announced on social media, with an Italian news output Ansa reporting The agency’s field loads will have an experiment for plant growth, time monitoring station and a data collection sensor.

“#Madeinitaly of #Mars”, Italian Industrial Minister Adolfo Urso celebratedWhile Spacex President and Coo Gwynne Shotwell announced an open season for Mars Launch’s reservations.

“Get on board! We’re going to Mars! Spacex already offers star services on the Red Planet”, “” She told the X Social Media platformS

In particular, no time line has been given to the dates of launching these flights-with the chances of a short-term trip to Mars more and more in question.

Both parties to the agreement are engaged with Mars Ventures.

ASI barely made titles at the end of last month when it made a deal to develop the first lunar lunar advance with Space Tales Alenia – upgrading the partnership of the Italian Space Agency in 2020 with NASA to coordinate the return of astronauts back to the moon under the Artemis agreements. Coming third after France and Germany, Italy contributed 800 million euros ($ 935 million) – or 15.8% – for 7.68 billion euros at the European Space Agency A budget adopted for 2025S He also participated strongly in the Exomars mission, which seeks to launch Rosalind Franklin Rover around 2028.

In the meantime, this is surprising and predictable that SpaceX, who made a name for himself from the commercialization of Space Launch, is already jumping to book excursions to Mars. A long -time NASA contractor, the company also offers services for starting Eutelsat OneWeb and AST Spacemobile satellite.

A few days ago, Amazon, whose chief Jeff Bezos owns his own competitive missile company Blue Origin, for the second time eavesdropping Musk Company launched its fourth batch of satellites kuiper On the 100th SpaceX^th Mission this year. And Musk is certainly vowel to his plans to pursue the colonization of Mars once voiced by US President Donald Trump.

But there is no avoidance of one (nearly 400 feet) problem. The Mammoth Rocket Star Ship of the Spacex-key to materializing Mars’ ambitions has had a long stage of advertised failures in the test flight this year against the background of technically and charging woes. We are yet to see during his next attempt later this month if these challenges are overcome during the three months of his last explosive stay. This is the skipping of an incident in June when the Starship rocket exploded while charging with methane and liquid oxygen fuel before its start – due, due, due,, Later Musk saidQuoting the preliminary data, the problems in the bay of the payload.

Critical to our conversation, Starship has not yet been appreciated by the crew, and Musk himself has already repelled his original goals by marking a “slight change” of a crew flight during the next window in 2026, when the Earth and the Red Planet are optimally aligned to travel to Mars.

“The light chance of a star ship flight to Mars, equipped by Optimus in November/December next year. Much should be fine for that” He said last week on social mediaS

“The first flight without people is more likely for ~ 3.5 years, the next flight ~ 5.5 years with people. Mars City self-benefits for 20 to 30 years.”

It may seem too early to start selling tickets to Mars, it’s no secret that the capacity to start worldwide is struggling to keep up with the search for access to space. Time will show whether ASI’s enthusiasm is ultimately strategic or premature.
