On May 7th, I had the pleasure of participating in the 2nd annual Italian Rocket Engineering Students Summit (IRESS) alongside my colleagues from the PoliTo Rocket Team.

The summit took place in the historical Aula Magna of Palazzo del Bo in Padua, a venue that perfectly complemented the event’s prestige. IRESS provided a fantastic platform for us to present our latest project updates, discuss the challenges we’ve tackled this year, and an opportunity to connect with other Italian rocketry teams, exchange ideas, and collectively push the boundaries of student-led aerospace engineering.

I would like to extend a great thank you to THRUST Student Project UniPD for the organization of the conference, which ensured a smooth and enriching experience for all attendees.
