The Italian Space Agency (Italian: Agenzia Spaziale Italiana; ASI) was founded in 1988 to promote, coordinate, and conduct space activities in Italy. Operating under the Ministry of the Universities and Scientific and Technological Research, the Agency cooperates with numerous international and Italian entities, who are active in space technology, and with the Italian President of the Council of Ministers. Internationally, the ASI provides Italy's delegation to the Council of the European Space Agency and to its subordinate bodies. ASI's main headquarters are located in Rome, Italy. The agency also has two operational centers, located in Matera and Trapani (both in Italy), and a spaceport, the San Marco platform, on the coastal sublittoral of Kenya. The ASI's annual budget is $900 million.
