Magnesiocummingtonite. Magnesiocummingtonite is the magnesium rich endmember of the cummingtonite-grunerite series of the amphibole group of minerals, with the following composition:
(Mg)7Si8O22(OH)2. 

Magnesiocummingtonite is considered to be an aptly named magnesium rich variety of the mineral cummingtonite which has Fe2+ substituting for some of the Mg. Divalent manganese may also substitute for magnesium in the crystal structure. 

It may be difficult to distinguish cummingtonite from the Mg rich variety in hand specimens. However, the refractive index, specific gravity and degree of attraction to a magnetic field increases with more Fe content.

Mario Robotti. Mario Robotti (25 November 1882 – 1955) was a general in the Royal Italian Army who commanded the XI Corps during the World War II Axis invasion of Yugoslavia in April 1941. 

He then became military commander in the Province of Ljubljana, the Italian-annexed zone of Slovenia. In February 1943, he succeeded general Mario Roatta as commander of the Italian Second Army in occupied Yugoslavia. General Robotti while commanding Italian troops in Axis occupied Yugoslavia in anti-partisan operations, was noted for his brutality, even once complaining to his officers that "you are not slaughtering enough people." During the winter of 1942–1943, Robotti personally chose 10 local dignitaries from the Slovene capital, Ljubljana, and had them imprisoned in the city and then stated that they would be executed if the partisans chose to make an attack on the city.

At the time of the Armistice of Cassibile in September 1943, he escaped capture by the Germans and retired to a private life in Rapallo, where he lived with his family.

Athena-Fidus. Athena-Fidus (Access on theatres for European allied forces nations-French Italian dual use satellite) is a French-Italian telecommunication satellite providing high-throughput secure communications to both nation's armed forces and their emergency services. It was manufactured by Thales Alenia Space under the supervision of CNES, the Direction générale de l'armement (DGA) and the Italian Space Agency (ASI). It complements the lower-throughput but more secure Syracuse 3 satellites. The satellite has a wet mass of 3080 kg and was placed on geostationary orbit in 2014. Its expected lifetime is 15 years.

Manufacturing 
The manufacturing contract was awarded in February 2010 to Thales Alenia Space. The satellite bus is a Spacebus 4000B2, manufactured in Cannes Mandelieu Space Center.

Launch 
The satellite was launched by an Ariane 5 ECA rocket on 6 February 2014 during the VA217 mission. After some on-orbit tests, official satellite commissioning took place on 14 March 2014.

Payload 
Although this is a common program, each country operates its own share of the payload. The satellite provides an encrypted, 3 Gbit/s throughput, using mostly Ka-band links. It carries 14 antennas including 7 mobile spot antennas, enabling positioning of steerable 1750-km diameter spot beams over operational theaters requiring a high bandwidth. France owns five beams and Italy, two. The system will enable communication with deployable ground stations (420 for France), and with drones.

Ground Segment 
The ground segment for the French part of the capacity is called Comcept. Comcept will provide a network of fixed and deployable ground stations using full-IP (Internet Protocol) technology. The system includes high-data-rate (HDR) ground stations which are installed in a transportable shelter and provide a speed of approximately 10 Mbit/s. The Comcept system is provided by Airbus Defence and Space and Actia Sodielec.

Russian espionage 
On 7 September 2018, during a visit to the Toulouse Space Centre, the Ministry of the Armed Forces, Florence Parly, accused Russia of having committed "an act of espionage" in 2017 against the satellite to try to intercept secure communications.
