5:11 PM Israeli gallakticheskom ship will get a final substance to the start-up of the moon in 2019 | |
YEHUD, Israel (Reuters) - Israeli engineers on the first day of the week added the final substance to the galactic ship designed for the moon - a digital time capsule - and said, in fact, that they were going to land the ship at the beginning of the proper year, somewhere between the landing sites of Apollo 15 and 17. This will be the 1st task of such a family since 2013, and in the case of a furor, Israel will be the 4th state to make a controlled "soft" landing of an unmanned vessel on the moon. Since 1966, the United States and in the past, Russian Unity have placed within 10 of them on the moon, and China's final one arranged this in 2013. "Galactic ship is fully built, tested ... and it will be ready to be sent to Cape Canaveral in a number of weeks,"said IDO Antebi, CEO of the nonprofit organization SpaceIL, which led the plan. Israel had previously launched satellites, but this is the 1st Israeli galactic installation more distant radius of influence of such family. The ship, called Beresheet, Hebrew for being, contains the shape of a round table with 4 legs of carbon fiber, height within 1.5 meters and weighs 585 kg ( 1290 pounds)-with fuel, the elements of 2 thirty percent of this weight. It will take off from Florida on the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket in the most recent number of months subsequently such as the initial December date was pushed back. The time capsule provides a single, space-resistant disk with a capacity of approximately a CD-ROM that has digital files of children's drawings, photos and information about the Israeli culture and the situation of the earth's population. "The capsule remains on the moon and remains surrounded by the moon, and it is likely that in a couple of 10 years someone will send a galactic ship in order to return it," said Antebi. Beresheet still carries a device to measure the magnetic fields of the moon. SpaceIL is supported by leading personal donors, spanning South American casino magnate Sheldon Adelson and billionaire Morris Kahn , who co-founded Amdocs, one of Israel's largest super-tech firms. SpaceIL was founded in 2011 by a group of engineers with a budget of $95 million.the Municipal defense contractor Israel Aerospace Industries is cooperating in this regard. At a height of 60,000 km (37,000 miles) above the territory, the galactic ship will break away from the Falcon launch vehicle. In the beginning, it will spin around the Earth in expanding ellipses and after about 2 months will go into the orbit of the moon. After that, it will slow down and perform a soft landing, which is not obliged to sweep the slightest harm to the ship. "Our landing site is located somewhere between the landing sites of Apollo 15 and Apollo 17," said Antebi. It's a flat place But still it has small craters and a large number of boulders." | |
