Israel and NASA: strike a 10-year strategic space partnership

Israel and NASA:  Gila Gamliel, Israel’s Minister of Innovation, Science, and Technology, inked a ten-year strategic space deal.

The signing was part of a formal working visit to NASA headquarters in Washington, where the minister met with the agency’s top leadership to discuss joint projects on the moon and deep space, such as the Artemis joint flagship projects, the MARE experiment, the launch of the ULTRASAT satellite, experiments on the International Space Station, and educational collaborations, as well as the promotion of sending the first Israeli woman into space.

“NASA is our largest strategic partner in space, and the signing of the decade-long agreement reflects confidence in our scientific ability to jointly lead scientific and technological innovation from the Moon to space station research,” Gamliel said. “We are now committed to the next national goal: training the first Israeli female astronaut.”
