An Israeli startup behind computing infrastructure that can endure the harsh conditions of space has raised $26 million. Ramon.Space’s computing technology can store, process and analyze large amounts of data while in orbit. By equipping satellites with powerful computers that have advanced storage, computing and connectivity capabilities, the company’s solutions enable data-driven applications and services […]

The Israel Innovation Authority has awarded a grant of 1.2 million shekels (approximately $330,000) to a startup developing technology for use in space.  Maris-Tech is working on the production of peripheral photography, recording, transmission, and artificial intelligence for nanosatellites and space platforms.   The grant is for the first year of development of the project, with […]

Israel may be a tiny country, barely visible from space, but it’s ahead of most of the world in getting there. In September 1998 it became only the eighth country in the world to put an object in space, with the launch of its Ofek 1 reconnaissance satellite. Two decades later its Beresheet unmanned spacecraft […]

Startup creates virtual simulations of zero gravity and freezing temperatures

The harsh conditions of space will be replicated – in a laboratory here on Earth. Israeli company Sim.space has developed a hybrid laboratory that will allow crews to train for the upcoming Beresheet 2 mission in 2025.  SpaceIL, the Israeli aerospace organization behind the mission, aims to conduct a double landing on both sides of […]

A new program that aims to create research and career opportunities for women in the space sector has selected its first five fellows. It is creating opportunities for young female engineers and scientists, encouraging more women to study STEM, and promoting an increased number of successful careers for women in the fields of science and […]

Israel’s next moon mission will include some unlikely passengers: plants.  A tray of seeds and dehydrated plants, as well as necessary equipment and cameras to monitor them, will be on board the Beresheet 2 missions scheduled for 2025. SpaceIL, the Israeli aerospace organization behind the mission, aims to conduct a double landing on both sides […]

Israel's Beresheet 2 mission to investigate effects of microgravity on astronauts' health

Two companies will be providing an advanced navigation solution for Israel’s next private moon missions.  SpaceIL, an Israeli organization for space development, is aiming to conduct a double landing on both sides of the Moon and continue in orbit for five years through the Beresheet 2 missions, scheduled for 2025. This follows its Beresheet 1 […]

The store, opening in Tel Aviv before the summer, will come with a significant price-cut on all Lego products.

Wearable sleep tech, clean meat, space hummus, and an antiradiation vest are just a few of the experiments heading to space.

The Israel and UAE Space Agencies signed an MOU to enhance cooperation in scientific research, space exploration and knowledge transfer

SpaceIL asks for researchers and universities from around the world to send proposals for experiments to send on its next moon mission, slated for 2024.

Helios says its technology will make it viable for oxygen to be produced on lunar soil for fuel, instead of being brought from the Earth.

The Beresheet 2 mission hopes to land 2 spacecraft on the moon, with backing from prominent investors and philanthropists.
