CAEN Aerospace started its
activity in 1992 as a new
CAEN division and,
subsequently, it became a
new company of the CAEN
Group.
During last years, CAEN
Aerospace acquired strong
expertise in the design,
manufacturing, assembly and
test of space-oriented
electronics. The main fields of
activities cover the
development of:
� DC/DC Converters
� Low and High Voltage
Power Supply Systems
� Payload
Power Supplies
� Frontend
Electronics
� Payload
Data Processing
Modules.
Official ESA/NASA standard
certifications as well as the
UNI EN ISO 9001:2000 norm
compliance have been
obtained in order to
guarantee high-quality
production: CAEN Aerospace
can now offer a full service,

Presentation of the Company:
CAEN Aerospace S.r.l. is part of CAEN Group and shares with its
Mother Company several departments and people.
CAEN (Costruzioni Apparecchiature Elettroniche Nucleari) is one of
the most important spin-offs of the Italian Nuclear Physics
Research Institute. The company was founded in Viareggio in 1979
by a group of electronics experts coming from the Italian INFN,
Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare. CAEN designs and
manufactures sophisticated electronic equipment for nuclear
physics research and is today the world’s leading companies in the
field: there are several hundreds of thousand CAEN Low/High
Voltage and data acquisition channels now working in all the most
important Nuclear Physics Laboratories over the World.
CAEN is totally self contained and controls all the stages of the
realisation of its products from design to production. It can
collaborate with the experiments from the very early stage of their
conception to the running period by providing impeccable after sale
support. The quality of its products is monitored throughout their
production cycle by the application of the norm UNI EN ISO
9001:2000.
Years of intensive collaboration with the major world Research
Centres have brought a continuous updating of the technology
used in CAEN’s products, increasing its experience in the design
and development of Power Supply Systems, data processing
boards, front-end electronics, AD/DA conversion.
The application of these technological skills to other disciplines
(Aerospace, Microelectronics, Radio Frequency Identification,
Biomedical Research, etc.) has created a number of activities,
which have developed a life of their own and prompted the
restructuring of the Society in a Net of Companies. CAEN as a
Group can count on about 130 collaborators half of which are
Engineers or Physicists, shared out in four main CAEN spin-off:
CAEN Nuclear Research, CAEN Aerospace, Aurelia
Microelettronica and CAEN RFID.
Nowadays CAEN Aerospace and Aurelia Microelettronica are going
to finalise a joint venture in order to offer a wider range of services
to Customers for Space Applications.

AMS 01 experiment (NASA - 1998 Shuttle STS-91
mission)
The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) is a space borne
particle physics experiment designed to search for and
measure various unusual types of matter (anti-matter and
dark matter). AMS has been conceived of two missions in
space. The first detector (AMS-01) was installed in the
space Shuttle Discovery STS-91, launched the 2 nd of June
1998. The second detector, AMS-02, will be carried by the
space Shuttle up to the International Space Station Alpha
(ISSA), for a 3 to 5 year mission, starting from the end of
2008.
For AMS-01 CAEN Aerospace delivered the Flight Models
