Stefano studied space engineering at the University of Rome “La Sapienza” in Italy and at the Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands. After that, he worked 7 years in France at 4SPACE for the European Space Agency, and finally he joined the D-Orbit team in Italy, a startup that had at the time 6 people. In 2018, D-Orbit is now an SME of more than 40 people active in the fields of space debris mitigation and remediation and in space transportation systems.

Space is a natural resource, peer of the Earth, Water and Air, and it must be used responsibly to become profitable: at D-Orbit we take care of that.
