Our Vision
Team ASTRA is a student team based at the Politecnico di Torino in Turin, Italy. Founded in 2022 by a group of Aerospace Engineering students, the team's objective is to develop concept designs for a self-sustaining and autonomous lunar base. The team long term focus on the colonization of space requires interdisciplinary collaboration and a broad range of studies.

IT
Information Technology
The focus of this section is to design and develop computer science implementations and graphical user interfaces for each of our projects.
PROT
Prototyping
Our Prototyping section aims to turn ideas into tangible form. A continuous iteration process is an essential aspect of the Team operations as it allows to refine and validate our designs.
MT
Mechatronics
The Mechatronics section is responsible for sensors management, electronics and computer science implementation for the rover, and it makes sure all the parts act in harmony as intended.
STR
Structures
The structures section is responsible for conducting all types of structural analysis necessary for the implementation of our projects, whether they are static, dynamic, thermal, or multi-body simulations.
COM
Communication
The Communication section endeavours to provide sponsorship for our team both within and outside the University, cultivate partnerships, and promote our activities.
GNC
Guidance Navigation Control
The GNC section specializes in designing and implementing advanced guidance, navigation, and control systems for autonomous lunar rover prototypes. Our focus is developing innovative solutions that enable rovers to navigate the challenging lunar terrain with precision and reliability.
