A proud moment for the BOOST project as it made its way to the prime-time quiz show "L'Eredità" on Rai1, showcasing the significance of our work in the field of space technology and sustainability! 🚀✨
The question, valued at the highest prize of €50,000, was featured in the "Science" category:
"To reduce space debris, the European project BOOST uses iodine to do what?"
The possible answers were:
1️⃣ Extend the life of probes
2️⃣ Refuel satellites
3️⃣ Destroy debris
4️⃣ Send garbage to Mars
While the contestants struggled a bit, eventually arriving at the correct answer (refuel satellites) on their third attempt, it was incredibly exciting to see our project highlighted as an example of cutting-edge European innovation!
This recognition reinforces the importance of our mission: to create sustainable solutions for the future of space exploration. 🌍🌌
A huge thank you to the BOOST team and all collaborators for making this vision a reality. Together, we're paving the way for a cleaner, more sustainable space environment! 💡🌠
