The 2017 International Paris Air
Show, an aviation and aerospace exhibition, has opened with
interplanetary flights and new opportunities offered by
artificial intelligence and big data on the agenda as space
gears up for the future.
Indeed French President Emmanuel Macron opened the event
along with European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut Thomas Pesquet,
who has recently concluded his mission aboard the International
Space Station.
And a new pavilion at the oldest event dedicated to aviation
and aerospace will showcase ideas for the future presented by
small companies and start-ups, which will have a voice alongside
aerospace industry giants.
Artificial intelligence, robotics and the use of big data
banks are among themes discussed at this innovation-sponsoring
event, together with ideas on technologies for the future of
interplanetary human spaceflights and for quicker data
transmission from vehicles in orbit to ground stations.
Italy is among the protagonists with innovative technologies,
for example one of the few engines that can be adapted to
different launchers in terms of dimension and conception.
This engine in question is the P120C motor made by Italian
aerospace company Avio in Colleferro near Rome, built for the
future launchers of the European Space Agency, like the
successor of Vega, Vega C, and the successor of Ariane 5, Ariane
6.
