The SpaceIL association won the tender to manage the HORIZON community, the community of educators of the Israel Space Agency

This was announced this week, 31.1.24/XNUMX/XNUMX, at the Rona Ramon space education conference held as part of Israeli Space Week

Towards quantum communication: Tel Aviv University's tiny satellite in space will communicate with the optical ground station

A few days ago, the TAU-SAT3 satellite was launched on SpaceX's Falcon 9 launcher, designed to demonstrate optical and quantum communication from space using tiny satellites

The Israel Space Agency will establish a first-of-its-kind center in Israel for research and development infrastructure for small satellites

The center will make available to entrepreneurs, companies and researchers the infrastructure for the development of small satellites and their components, and will enable the expansion of the ecosystem in the field

A small satellite with a solar sail could catch the next interstellar object to pass

It's too late for Umuamoa, but we can be ready for the next strange interstellar visitor if we want to. It is possible to design and build a spacecraft that will encounter such an object at short notice

Tel Aviv's Oni satellite launched smart material for the first time in Israel's space history

Tel Aviv University launched a "smart material" into space - a folded polymer that unfolds to its original shape when heated

The TAU-SAT1 nanosatellite was successfully released from the International Space Station into orbit

The satellite was received strongly and clearly by 4 ground stations in Israel connected by a network between them: at Tel Aviv University, at the Science Center in Herzliya, at the Negev Gate and in Biruchem. In the coming days, it will be rerouted to its fixed orbit

The first scientific nanosatellite designed and built at Tel Aviv University will be launched into space tomorrow night

The satellite will be launched packed inside a Northrop Grumman Cygnus model supply spacecraft. Northrop Grumman's Cygnus will be launched on Saturday, 19:36 Israel time, then the launch will be at the Atlantic Regional Space Center

The Technion and the Israel Defense Forces have developed satellite technology for rescue, rescue and signal detection missions

As part of the cooperation, a mission receiver and a satellite computer were developed for the Adelis-Samson project. In this project, three nanosatellites will be launched that will be transported in space in an autonomous manned flight
