Lulav Spice and Ramon Spice will integrate the Beresheet 2 landing sensor systems

Lulav Space will implement the landing sensor algorithm it developed on Ramon Space's computing platform, which is resistant to high levels of radiation and extreme temperatures

The SpaceIL association chose Lulav Space and Ramon Space in order to integrate advanced technological navigation solutions for the Genesis 2 mission, which will be launched in 2025 and, according to the plan, will make a double landing on the moon. After that, you will continue to orbit the moon for 5 years, during which you will promote scientific and educational research.

As part of the project, Lulav Space will implement and activate the landing sensor algorithm it developed in Ramon Space's computing platform, which withstands high levels of radiation and extreme temperatures, equipped with the space processor developed by the company and designed for AI/ML & DSP and computer vision tasks. Ramon Spice's technology is used as the technological engine for the computer vision-based navigation algorithm developed by Lulav Spice.

Shimon Sharid, CEO of SpaceIL: "In order to meet the challenging task of landing two landers on both sides of the moon in one space mission, something that has never been done before, advanced technologies are needed and I am happy about the choice of our new partners for the journey.

"Precise and reliable navigation sensors are a critical component for landing on the moon"  Noam says lighter, CEO"ל :Lulav Space "We are very happy and excited to have been chosen by the SpaceIL association to take part in this extraordinary project and to assist the Israeli spacecraft in its complex missions in space. By using Ramon Space's computer systems, we can develop our advanced algorithms easily, quickly and reliably, and ensure that at all times the spacecraft will receive the most accurate and reliable information from our sensors, which will allow it to meet this historic and important mission."

Ramon Space's technology is an engine for diverse algorithms, in this mission it is used as a platform that allows the use of the SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) algorithm which will provide the speed and location to the lander's navigation system along with identifying hazards for a safe landing on the moon.

"Efficient real-time processing of complex algorithms can make the difference between success and failure of a space mission" אומר my father Saturn, CEO"ל Ramon Spies: "We are sure that the advanced computing technology we have developed will not only withstand extreme conditions and radiation, but will also perform well. Together with Lulav Space's unique algorithm, we will bring Genesis 2 safely to the moon together. To date, Ramon Space has taken part in over 50 different space missions for many countries and international companies. An Israeli space mission intended to reach the moon is very exciting to us, and we expect and hope that our computing platform will be the engine for many more missions in space and throughout the solar system."

Historically, lunar landers make use of RADAR technology and laser sensors, to provide their computerized navigation systems with the required height and speed indicators, relative to the lunar surface. However, the main disadvantage of those systems is their size, mass and high energy consumption. Lulav Space has developed an alternative landing sensor, which is much more efficient, has a low weight and is economical in energy consumption, without compromising the high performance it provides.

Landing on the moon requires modular navigation systems equipped with cameras, complex computer vision algorithms, alongside graphic simulators with high reliability and accuracy capabilities. To meet these high requirements, systems with very high performance computing power are needed. The integrated navigation solution, developed by Ramon Spice and Lulav Spice, will enable superior performance, better durability and significant cost savings, compared to RADAR-based systems of the previous generation or laser-based systems.
