On the 11th of February 2015 the Intermediate eXperimental Vehicle (IXV) mission has been successfully completed.
This has been an extraordinary achievement for the European Space Industry and especially for the Italian one (the IXV Prime Contractor was Thales Alenia Space Italy).
Spazio IT has contributed to this success by performing Independent Verification and Validation (IVV) of the IXV Flight Software.
