What is Spei Satelles

Spei Satelles is a space mission that aims to be a sign of hope for all humanity. Promoted by the Dicastery for Communication, the mission is coordinated by the Italian Space Agency (ASI), the public body that prepares and implements the Italian space policy in accordance with the Government guidelines. The mission participants include the Polytechnic University of Turin, which designed and built the satellite, and the CNR which created the nanobook from which the entire mission originated. The logo is the work of the young people of the IUSVE of Venice while the pastoral/cultural coordination was assigned to the Digital Apostolate, Archdiocese of Turin.

With Pope Francis

Spei Satelles contains a nanobook, a 2x2x0.2 mm silicon slab on which the images, speeches and readings of the moment of prayer celebrated by Pope Francis on March 27, 2020 were imprinted by nanotechnologies, in the midst of the pandemic. Those words and those gestures have become an icon of hope, a seed of hope from which to start again.

You too

You can be a guardian of hope together with Pope Francis. Fill out the form and commit yourself to doing good actions on earth so that there is hope and fraternity for everyone. Your membership will be entered into a chip that will fly aboard Spei Satelles. Your name will be written in heaven because you have chosen to sow hope on earth.

Messenger of Hope

During its stay in sun-synchronous orbit, Spei Satelles will transmit a radio signal that can be perceived with amateur instruments. The signal contains messages of hope from the magisterium of Pope Francis.

Hope according to Pope Francis

Hope does not disappoint, taking hope is an act of faith, the humblest of virtues, but the most daily, because it is like oxygen to breathe life and give it meaning. It is a gift to move forward, to act, to tolerate, to suffer. This is a world full of delusions. Hope is everyday, you find it in the little corners of your life and there is hope that carries you forward. Each of us can be the engine of this hope for ourselves and for the world.

This space mission is a concrete sign of this hope.
