Officina Stellare has been awarded a new contract by Leonardo for the supply of optical systems for PRISMA Second Generation (PRISMA SG), the Italian Space Agency’s (ASI) next-generation hyperspectral Earth observation mission.
The contract, valued at €1.84 million and spanning approximately 33 months, marks another important milestone in Officina Stellare’s long-standing commitment to delivering high-performance optical technologies for institutional space programs.
As part of the program, Officina Stellare will work alongside Leonardo during the co-engineering phase of optical systems with apertures of up to 700 mm. The company will then take full responsibility for the manufacturing of these optical systems for the various development and qualification models required by the mission.
PRISMA SG represents the evolution of Italy’s flagship hyperspectral Earth observation mission. Designed to ensure operational continuity while significantly improving performance, the mission will provide increasingly accurate hyperspectral data to support environmental monitoring, scientific research, natural resource management, and a wide range of institutional applications.
Leveraging its expertise in precision optics and mission-critical technologies, Officina Stellare will contribute to the development of the next-generation hyperspectral payload, helping advance Europe’s Earth observation capabilities and delivering greater value to institutions, the scientific community, and society at large.
This new award further strengthens Officina Stellare’s presence in the institutional space market and reinforces its role as a trusted technology partner for advanced optical systems in strategic space programs.
“We are particularly proud to contribute to a strategic program for the national space sector such as PRISMA Second Generation,” said Pierpaolo Pergola, Chief Commercial Officer at Officina Stellare. “This contract recognizes the distinctive expertise Officina Stellare has developed over the years in precision optics for space applications, further strengthens our collaboration with Leonardo and the Italian space ecosystem, and consolidates our position in high-value Earth observation programs.”
By supporting missions such as PRISMA SG, Officina Stellare continues to expand its contribution to the development of next-generation space technologies, enabling more advanced optical solutions for future Earth observation missions.
