For example, the country developed its own line of orbital rockets, the Shavit ("Comet") series, which has lofted a number of satellites over the years.
Not bad for a nation of 9 million people, which is only slightly bigger than the U.S. state of New Jersey.
But Israel wants to become an even bigger player in the final frontier. It's developing Beresheet 2 — a more ambitious lunar mission, which will likely consist of an orbiter and two landers — for launch in 2024 or thereabouts.
Artemis 1 moon rocket gets space station flyover in stunning NASA photo | Space
A serene new NASA photo has captured two spacecraft at twilight, one in orbit and one on Earth, as the agency tested its new Artemis 1 moon rocket.
The photo, taken by photographer Joel Kowsky, shows the agency's Artemis 1 moon rocket — the first Space Launch System booster — as it stood on Launch Pad 39B of NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida on April 8.
Very Busy Day Aboard the International Space Station With Science Research and Spacewalks Preps
Russian cosmonaut Oleg Artemyev, Expedition 40 flight engineer, attired in a Russian Orlan spacesuit, participates in a session of extravehicular activity (EVA) in support of science and maintenance on the International Space Station in 2014.
It was a very busy day aboard the International Space Station on Wednesday, April 13, 2022, as the 11-person crew focused on human research experiments and spacewalk preparations.

This stunning view comes from NASA's InSight Mars lander , which snapped images of the Martian sunrise on April 10.
"I'll never tire of sunrise on Mars ," NASA officials wrote in the lander's "voice" in a Twitter post Wednesday (April 13). "Each morning, that distant dot climbs higher in the sky, giving me energy for another round of listening to the rumbles beneath my feet."

A-Maize-ing Space - The Michigan Review
It's no surprise that as the number one public research university, the University of Michigan has been a dominant force in space science development throughout the 21st century.
After 24 years of research and development, various setbacks both before and during the pandemic, and $10 billion of funds allocated to NASA, JWST finally sailed past Earth's atmosphere in December 2021.
A Fleet of Space Telescopes Flying in Formation Could Reveal Details on Exoplanets - Universe Today
We’ve found thousands of exoplanets in the last couple of decades. We’ve discovered exoplanets unlike anything in our own Solar System. But even with all we’ve found, it seems like there’s more and more to discover.
Chinese researchers are developing an idea for an exoplanet-detecting array of space telescopes that acts as an interferometer. But it won’t only detect them. The array will use direct imaging to characterize distant exoplanets in more detail.
Astronomy on Tap | www.caltech.edu
In what ways are the first galaxies different from our own, and how will we discover them? Why are magnetic fields so crucial for understanding how things move in space, and how can we see these invisible forces?
Astronomy on Tap is a nation-wide phenomenon where professional astronomers give informal science talks in local bars with accompanying pub trivia and interactions with the public. Scientists at Caltech organize the Los Angeles Chapter of Astronomy on Tap one Monday a month.
Harvard astronomer believes an interstellar meteor (or craft) smashed into Earth in 2014 — others ...
In 2014 , a half-ton, couch-sized meteor entered the atmosphere above Papua New Guinea , brightening the night sky. While seemingly large, it posed no threat, mostly burning up in the atmosphere.
But Avi Loeb , a Harvard University astrophysicist, and his student Amir Siraj saw something else in that remote bolide explosion: Five years after the meteor appeared in 2019, they looked at the data on it from NASA JPL's Center for Near Earth Object Studies. They saw something fast.
