Rosetta was the first mission to orbit a comet nucleus and land a probe on its surface. It is the first spacecraft to have flown alongside an icy comet as it headed into the Solar System, observing how it is transformed by the heat of the Sun.
During the time period between 1993 and 1994 Airbus Crisa designed and manufactured all the thermo-structural models (around forty of them) of the avionics of Huygens probe for its structural testing.
From September 9 to 20, 1994, EDMO, the Experiment for the Deposition of Materials in Orbit, flew into space aboard a Get Away Special container in the cargo bay of the Discovery spacecraft on flight STS-64.
Airbus Crisa designed and manufactured the electronic equipment to control the biggest superconducting magnet ever built for its operation in space. It was part of the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer experiment, conceived by the Nobel Prize in Physics Samuel Ting
