Firefly announced a July 2019 partnership with Israel Aerospace Industries to license the Genesis lander that IAI developed for SpaceIL’s Beresheet mission.
At the 2022 ministerial meeting ESA sought 80,000,000 EUR for Genesis and 100,000,000 EUR for LEO-PNT.
One FutureNAV contract valued at 76,600,000 EUR was awarded to a consortium led by OHB Italia to develop Genesis.
The Genesis and LEO-PNT missions were approved at ESA’s Ministerial Council of 2022 as part of the FutureNAV program in ESA’s Navigation Directorate.
ESA signed contracts with several European companies for an overall amount of 233,000,000 EUR to develop the Genesis mission and a LEO-PNT demonstrator under the FutureNAV program.
Genesis was a Discovery-class spacecraft with a total cost of $264,000,000 designed, built, tested, and operated by Lockheed Martin.
