Abstract
In a favourable geographic position (38°01′N, 12°35′E) Milo Base guarantees long duration flights on Mediterrean Sea (at least 20 hours) at atmosphera limit (40 km of altitude) from Sicily to Spain. With a low X ray background it represents a special point for astrophysical observation. Programs for the next years, collaboration feasibility, work facilities and obtained results will be presented and discussed.
