Israel Aerospace Industries is speaking with several groups about teaming up to build landers from the United States to meet CLPS program requirements.
Meir Nissim Nir, director of advanced space systems at IAI, estimated that Beresheet-derived landers could be ready for missions as soon as late 2020 if contracts were signed soon and the work was done in Israel.
Israel Aerospace Industries plans small modifications to the Beresheet lander design to allow it to accommodate 30 to 60 kg of scientific payloads depending on whether the spacecraft is launched directly to the moon or placed into a transfer orbit.
SpaceIL contracted with Israel Aerospace Industries to build the Beresheet lander.
Israel Aerospace Industries built the lander for SpaceIL and is studying other opportunities for using that lander system, including a partnership with German company OHB to study its use for European Space Agency missions.
Israel Aerospace Industries scheduled a few smaller maneuvers to optimize Beresheet’s trajectory in the days after 2019-03-19 and planned no major burns before lunar arrival.
Israel Aerospace Industries planned slight modifications to the Beresheet design, particularly to the upper deck, to support payloads weighing 30 to 60 kg depending on the initial launch orbit.
Israel Aerospace Industries built the Beresheet lander and partnered with German company OHB in January to commercialize the lander platform for potential future missions by the European Space Agency or other national space agencies.
Israel Aerospace Industries partnered with German spacecraft builder OHB to offer a version of the Beresheet lander to the European Space Agency for commercial lunar payload delivery.
Israel’s Ministry of Science and Technology committed government financial support to have Amos-8 built in Israel by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI).
Spacecom purchased Amos-8 from SSL in March 2018 and terminated that contract three weeks after the Israeli government indicated intent to order a domestically built satellite from IAI.
The 2019-01-29 teaming agreement between Israel Aerospace Industries and OHB System was signed during the Ilan Ramon Space Conference in Israel.
Under the teaming agreement, Israel Aerospace Industries will offer a version of the lunar lander it built for SpaceIL for use on ESA missions.
Israel Aerospace Industries shipped the SpaceIL lander Beresheet earlier 2019-01 from Israel to Cape Canaveral for final preparations for launch.
A mission using the IAI-built lander would likely launch as a secondary payload on a rocket carrying a communications satellite to geostationary transfer orbit and then gradually extend its orbit until captured by the moon.
Israel Aerospace Industries signed a teaming agreement with OHB System on 2019-01-29 to offer commercial delivery of payloads to the lunar surface for the European Space Agency.
Workers installed a digital time capsule consisting of three discs into the SpaceIL spacecraft during a 2018-12-17 ceremony at an Israel Aerospace Industries facility.
Israel Aerospace Industries was ordered to pay Spacecom $10,000,000 for late delivery of the Amos-6 satellite.
In mid-October, Spacecom was negotiating with Israel Aerospace Industries to build Amos-8 following Israeli government involvement in the program.
Spacecom ordered Amos-6 from Israel Aerospace Industries in 2012 for $200,000,000.
