A conference was held at the Tallinn Polytechnic University
'Travelling Together Towards the New Frontier - Space Cooperation between Italy and Estonia', organised by the Italian Embassy in Tallinn in cooperation with ICE. This was announced by the Italian Embassy in the Estonian capital.
Inaugurating the event, the Italian Ambassador to Estonia, Stefano Catani, emphasised the importance of space cooperation between Italy and Estonia and Italy's long history in space exploration, which began with the launch of the San Marco satellite on 16 December 1964.
