Israeli progression organization SpaceIL plans a double landing on the moon in 2025, aiming to remain in orbit for five years as a platform for scientific training activities.
SpaceIL co-founder and deputy CEO Kfir Damari reports that SpaceIL chose the landing sensors and navigation formula of Beresheet 2 (landing sensor algorithms in Lulav Space’s vision on a computer platform reinforced through Ramon. Space radiation) for the two hard landings on both sides of the moon. .
The combined Israeli navigation solution is expected to deliver impressive performance, durability and cost-effectiveness to older radar or laser systems.
“The fast and consistent processing of complex algorithms in the area makes the difference between good fortune and project failure,” said Avi Shabtai, CEO of Ramon. Space.
“Having been involved in over 50 area projects to date, a new Israeli area to the Moon project is very exciting and we hope that our computing platform will be the engine that will force many more projects to come. “
Another Israeli product to be implemented in Beresheet 2 is the Jupiter-Space generation from clever video transproject company Maris-Tech to manage camera operation, purchase and compress images, and implement various project algorithms on any of the lunar landers.
In addition, the Swedish space company AAC Clyde Space was contracted to supply the project computer for the landers.
“It will run the flight software, which executes all project tasks, communication with Earth, track and manage faults, and management of the automatic landing system,” Damari said.
“Meanwhile, our team of software engineers writes the software that will be deployed to the computer. This software will be tested in the style we will have in the coming days.
Founded in 2011, SpaceIL introduced its Beresheet 1 project in 2019, an inexpensive lunar program and the first personal project to the Moon to reach the Moon, although it unfortunately crashed upon arrival.
