Israel Aerospace to Help European Space Agency Reach the Moon
(Jerusalem Post) Eytan Halon - Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) has teamed up with leading German space company OHB System AG to assist European Space Agency (ESA) missions to reach the moon, the companies announced on Tuesday. IAI will provide a lunar lander based on the Beresheet spacecraft it built in cooperation with SpaceIL, due to be launched next month from Cape Canaveral, Florida. On Monday, the Israel Space Agency announced it would join with the Austrian Space Forum to hold a three-week Mars simulation project at Mitzpe Ramon in Israel's Negev desert in November 2020 with the participation of six astronauts. The conditions in the Ramon crater are said to be similar to those on Mars.
