Israel's Technion Launches Three Satellites into Space
(Jerusalem Post) Aaron Reich - Three Israeli satellites were launched simultaneously into space on Monday from Kazakhstan and will be used to calculate the location of planes, ships and people. Each satellite, known as CubeSats, weighs 8 kg. and carries sensors, control systems and navigation tools. They use an innovative propulsion system and have three solar panels to gather energy and, if necessary, control the flight of the satellites without fuel.
