DESCRIPTION:In the last 20 years\, satellite technologies have been increas
 ingly used for study\, monitoring\, conservation and promotion of cultural
  heritage\, with a growing trend at both national and international levels
 . Recent publications critically reviewing the specialist scientific liter
 ature highlight a significant level of maturity of satellite applications 
 in this domain (Luo et al.\, 2019\; Tapete and Cigna\, 2019a)\, so as sate
 llite images collected from optical sensors have already become common dat
 a exploited by (geo-)archaeologists\, researchers and heritage experts.  A
 t the same time\, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) technologies are increasi
 ngly being tested and exploited\, also beyond the specialist image analyst
  community\, thanks to multidisciplinary collaboration between different p
 rofessionals (Tapete and Cigna\, 2017) and facilitated SAR data access giv
 en the increasing provision by space agencies\, also in “ready to use”
  formats (Tapete and Cigna\, 2019b).  At European level\, the Italian ecos
 ystem undoubtedly represents an excellence\, given not only the long tradi
 tion in exploitation of innovative technologies for cultural heritage\, bu
 t also the space sector investments into both Earth Observation missions w
 ith characteristics of image acquisition that well suit the user needs and
  requirements for this application domain\, and initiatives promoting down
 stream applications and services development engaging small\, medium and l
 arge enterprises.  In continuity with the past decade\, ASI continues laun
 ching and managing several initiatives for cultural heritage\, in particul
 ar along the following directions: \n•	Undertaking scientific research a
 nd development\, also through real-world user-driven use cases\, e.g. demo
 nstrating the performance achievable using national assets such as COSMOSk
 yMed data (Tapete and Cigna\, 2019b\; 2020)\;\n•	Supporting COSMO-SkyMed
  data exploitation in projects with Italian institutions (e.g. Ministry of
  Culture\, Archaeological Park of Colosseum)\, and activities devoted to d
 ownstream applications and services development (e.g. in Pompeii\, Capo Co
 lonna) (Virelli et al.\, 2020)\; \n•	Promoting downstream by scientific\
 , commercial and institutional users through the new programme “Innovati
 on for Downstream Preparation” (I4DP)\, wherein safeguard of environment
 \, cultural heritage and national landscape is among the key application d
 omains. \nThe present paper therefore will illustrate ASI’s contribution
  for cultural heritage\, alongside the current perspectives\, in light of 
 the COSMO-SkyMed programme (upstream) and “Multi-mission and Multi-Frequ
 ency SAR” and I4DP programmes (downstream)\, the latter with particular 
 focus on the initiative dedicated to scientific users (I4DP_SCIENCE) accor
 ding to the roadmap defined by Tapete & Coletta (2022). \n \nReferences \n
