Israel plans to send unmanned spaceships to the moon in February Environmental Sciences

A non-profit Israeli Jewish organization plans to send an unmanned spaceship to the moon in February in first place since 2013.

Edo Entebbe, CEO of SpaceL, a non-profit company, said the four-legged four-legged carbon fiber roundtable would be launched in Cape Canaveral, Florida, in December, The Falcon 9 is made by Space.X.

The mission will be to transmit images and videos to Earth more than two days after landing on February 13, in addition to measuring magnetic fields.

Entebbe said, "This will be our smallest vehicle anchored on the moon."

Since 1966, the United States and the Soviet Union have sent about 12 unmanned spacecraft to the moon using the braking power to make a "soft landing" while China l? did in 2013.

With an estimated budget of ninety million dollars.

The vehicle was unveiled Tuesday at Israel Aerospace Industries. It is 1.5 meters high and weighs 585 kilograms. The vehicle rests on four feet of carbon fiber and fuels up to two-thirds of its weight.

The vehicle will be deployed 60,000 km above the ground. It will fly into Earth orbit and after two months it will move to the orbit of the moon, where it will slow down its pace before a soft landing damages the vehicle.

Entebbe said: "The landing is the most complex part.The chosen location is relatively flat and the vehicle is connected by the eye to the ground … and from the moment where the vehicle reaches the point where the landing begins, you will take care of it entirely. "

SPIEL receives support from backers, including American game mogul Sheldon Adelson and billionaire Morris Khan, who co-founded Amdocs, one of the largest technology companies in Israel.
