Summary
SASLab
SASLab (Scientific Aerospace Solutions Laboratory)
DIAA SasLab is a laboratory of the University La Sapienza of Rome legally administrated by Aerospace and Astronautic Department (DIAA). This laboraory collaborates with several aeronautical and aerospace italian companies and national and international scientific agencies: Alenia Aeronautca, Thales Alenia Space Italia, Agusta, ASI, CIRA, AVIO, CSM, SELEX, ENEA, ESA, INFN, Aero Sekur, Sistema Compositi, Umbra Cuscinetti, SegreDifesa, NTT Group, Trelleborg, Galileo Avionica, Astrium, Alenia Aermacchi, Aeronautical Service.
The use of SASlab testing equipment by industry fosters an excellent know-how exchange and technology transfer between the institute and companies working in the field. Scientific responsible of SASLab is Prof. Mario Marchetti full professor at the School of the Aerospace Engineering of the University La Sapienza of Rome.
The SASLab Team is copmposed by Scientist and Aerospace Engineers, with a great Experience in advanced technology research and testing.
SASLab Team also trains pre-graduate students in ist laboratories in order to provide a qualified scientific and technical education.
