Israel’s moonshot blasts off with a successful launch
2019-02-22
[IsraelTimes] Small Beresheet satellite embarks on 7-week journey, at the end of which Israel could become the fourth country to land on the moon.

Israel’s first lunar-bound spacecraft successfully blasted off early Friday morning, embarking on a seven-week trip to land on the moon. If the privately funded Beresheet project is successful, Israel will be just the fourth country to land a spacecraft on the moon.

Beresheet lifted off from Cape Canaveral in Florida at 3:45 time a.m. Israel time (8:45 p.m. Thursday EST), catching a ride on one of Elon Musk’s SpaceX commercial space launches.

#3   Beresheet will send information for approximately two to three days before the sun’s rays are expected to melt parts of the communication system, ending the mission.

And beginning its' next mission of spying on the Joooo Enemiesâ„¢
