This was stated by Minister of Education and Research, Maria Chiara Carrozza speaking to the press at the conclusion of a visit of nearly two days in Washington, where he discussed the Italian commitment in the field of space with the number one of NASA, General Charles Bolden.
The U.S. has asked
until Italy can support the International Space Station, the minister said. “We’ll talk with the President of the Council are delicate decisions that go beyond the mandate of the government and undertake successive governments,” said Carrozza. “I realize that there are Vare international opportunities, we have secured the support until 2020,” the minister added.
Italy, which contributes to the project with other European countries, has built up to 50% of the habitable volume of the space station. “This position of leadership in the field of space must be maintained and must be present at the international level. The delicacy lies in the fact that we are a small country and we must continue to invest in the future, “added coach.
