Along with the feeling of sadness is mixed great pride: as Israelis and as Jews, that Ilan was one of a special human team that was launched into space; And proud as the people of the university for Ilan's personal relationship with Tel Aviv University, both as a graduate of the Faculty of Engineering, and as a partner in the important MEIDE research project" noted Prof. Rabinowitz.
