NASA Launches Israeli Technology

August 3, 2009

The technology carries out accurate, three-dimensional mapping of the moon and is programmed to find safe landing sites, locate potential resources, and characterize the radiation environment. “They were looking for a small solution that would be durable and reliable in an environment like that in space,” Yariv said. “On Earth, you store information in the computer's memory, and when you want to retrieve the information, you get it exactly as you stored it. But in space, the information you retrieve is not that same information that you stored, which causes critical failures.

 

Sital's team of engineers, most of whom served in the Israel Air Force's technical departments, were able to come up with an advanced solution. ”This is proof that in places where technological superiority, absolute reliability and intellectual flexibility are needed, we, the Israelis, are preferred over all our competitors around the world,” the three said.
