SEC. 03 / TEAM
The team
Students at the University of Pisa, organised in six technical divisions under an Engineering and a Science directorate, plus the administrative areas. Each division owns a piece of the mission, from design to field testing.
ORG CHART
Three directorates, seven divisions
Not a symmetrical org chart: engineering carries four divisions, science two, administration one. That is the real shape of the team.
Names and portraits are placeholders, waiting on the real ones. The divisions above are already real.
- Engineering 04
- Science 02
- Administration 01
In 1610 Galileo discovered Jupiter's four moons: as many as our engineering divisions. Mars has two, like science; Earth has one, like administration. The map of the team was already written in the sky.
