The proposed plan to promote space: an investment of NIS 600m and the doubling of space companies in Israel

  • No comments
The new plan also includes the establishment of a satellite for research purposes, increasing the number of researchers and high school graduates working in the field * In 2016, a similar plan was prepared with a budget of NIS 300 million, but it did not come to fruition, apparently due to the refusal of the finance officials
