Abstract
Abstract Our research aims to measure the knowledge produced by scientific space missions in the fields of particle and high-energy astrophysics. We start with the assumption that the acquisition of new scientific knowledge is reflected in the scientific literature produced by the international scientific community. A bibliometric analysis of the contribution of knowledge by Italian researchers (researchers working in Italian research institutes) within the international context provides a very positive picture relating to the output of the research carried out in Italy in those fields. A productivity analysis tells us that Italian public resources invested in Italian space science missions compare well with those invested in the astronomy and astrophysics sector at the international level.
