The "Beresheet" spacecraft is expected to perform a final maneuver on Earth's orbit at 14:30

Update (14:55): Journey to the Moon Report #6
Beresheet on the way to the moon - another successful maneuver!


Today, at 14:30, a successful maneuver of Beresheet (Genesis) was carried out on its way to an elliptical orbit corresponding to the planned Moon meeting, where the farthest point from Earth is about 405,000 km away.

The spacecraft functions as expected, communicates with the control room at Yahud, the flight control and flight control teams manage to minimize the difficulties in star tracking by adapting the watchers' activation pattern so that all subsequent maneuvering stages are directed to space rather than to the Sun or Earth.

As the space travel continues, the amount of fuel in the spaceship tanks decreases, so this week we operated a momentum wheel that stabilizes the movement of the spacecraft so that the fuel flow in containers will not shake it. The engineering team was preparing to perform a few small maneuvers to improve the spacecraft's path to the moon trap expected on 4 April.

The spacecraft will be located around 14:30 at Perigia (the closest point to Earth) on its orbit around the Earth, and will make a fourth and final maneuver in this orbit. The maneuver is expected to bring the spacecraft to Apogia (the farthest point from Earth in orbit) to a distance of about 400,000 km, compared with 270,000 km on its current route. In addition, the spacecraft is expected to perform several Earth observations before maneuvering.

International Achievement for Haifa Port: Awarded "Oscar of the Sea Ports"
300 of the world's largest ports took part in the prestigious competition

Haifa Port won the second time in four years at the World Naval Ports Competition (NAVIS WORLD AWARDS), which was dubbed the "Oscar of the ants", in light of the fact that in the competition the 300 leading international terminals compete in a series of categories.

The event is held once a year in San Francisco and is produced by NAVIS. The Haifa Port win, as it was four years ago, is in the category of "Contribution to the Sea Community and to Customers" - and it won a prize in conjunction with Terminal Terminal of Dubai, DP World.

As in previous competitions, the winners are giant ports in the world, belonging to companies such as APM of Marsec - the world's largest shipping company, Dubai World, which operates terminals around the world, and the Chinese ports of Tianjin and Qingdao. And this year, for the second time in four years, Haifa Port stands in line with the world's leading ports.

Haifa Port was awarded the prestigious "Customer and Community Impact" category - the port's contribution to the community and its customers. The Haifa Port is constantly improving, displaying high output that places it high on the world level, but the prizes in this Oscar competition are given for exceptional achievements and unique technological developments on a global level:

This year's award committee stated that the prize was awarded to Haifa Port for the development and adaptation of its computerized TOS system for full work with a general cargo (all types of cargo that are not containers, such as grain, bulk cargo, import cars, iron, wood, etc.) , For both the waterway and the storage areas, and for the new cargo gate activity at the port. In this way, in the opinion of the award committee, the Haifa Port technological leapfrogged the area of general cargo activity for all customers in this sector, while transporting them to digital and paperless use of all the activities and to increase efficiency at work. This operation of the port places him as a technological leader of the entire sea community that works or visits Israel.

Critical maneuver of the "Beresheet" spacecraft to capture the moon. See the explanation for the maneuver.

SpaceIL's engineering team and IAI will perform the most crucial maneuver to date in the spacecraft's voyage to the Moon - "Moon Capture". The maneuver will allow the spacecraft to be trapped by the moon's gravity and thus begin to surround it and with it the Earth.

To date, the spacecraft has orbited the Earth's orbits, during which several maneuvers (motor activation) have been carried out in order to raise its orbit and distance it from Earth. At the beginning of the week, the spacecraft last reached the nearest point to the ball on the last lap around it - only 1,700 kilometers and then continued on its way to the meeting point with the moon within 400 thousand kilometers. Unlike maneuvers performed so far, in which engines have been activated to accelerate the speed of the spacecraft, now the engines will be activated to slow down the speed of Genesis and allow the moon to capture it. The spacecraft will be slowed down at a speed of 8,500 km / h to a speed of 7,500 km / h in relation to the moon.

If the slowdown does not occur properly, the spacecraft may escape the gravitational force of the Earth and the moon and enter another undesirable orbit around the sun, thus the task will come to an end. The success of the maneuver will put the spacecraft into an elliptical orbit around the Moon where the nearest point (Perilona) is about 500 kilometers from the moon and the distance (Apollona) about 10,000 kilometers. In the week following the capture, a number of maneuvers will be made to reduce the lunar orbits from an elliptical orbit to a circular orbit 200 kilometers above the moon, unlike the long orbits around the Earth, the first laps around the moon will last about 14 hours. .

The aim of the maneuvers after capturing the Moon is to lower altitude and reach the optimal point for the spacecraft's autonomous landing at 11/4 in the "calm sea".

Interim summary - Journey of "Beresheet" until the moon is captured:

• To date, 7 maneuvers have been carried out
• The spacecraft has traveled about 5.5 million kilometers in all the cappias and is expected to pass another one million kilometers in lunar orbits.
• A total of 12.5 laps around the Earth (7 laps in a 70,000 km orbit, 2 laps at a track of 131,000 km, 2 laps at 265,000 km and 1.5 lanes at a altitude of 410,000 km).
• The amount of fuel used so far is about 80 kg.
• There were two major faults that the engineering team had overcome in one of the stars that were blinded by the sun than were observed and the second one was not wanted on the mission computer.

A live broadcast from the control room during the maneuver will appear in the link: (The text is mostly from SpaceIL)

There are a lot of methods to gather water out of the air that are of other countries with different ways of doing so.

Sure, I wouldn't be surprised if we could see a wide variety of such methods being experimented in laboratories of most counties today.

There're big questions to be answered and choices to be made before simultaneously transforming our socio-ecological environment with new level of technologies.

As far as I know, Tel-Aviv is an attractive location for being of the most convenient metropolitans to make such a transition possible in relatively short terms.

UPDATE:

Today morning, Tuesday, 9.4.19 at 08:34 SpaceIL's engineering team and IAI successfully carried out another maneuver around the moon. Upon completion of this maneuver in the beginning, she moved to a circular orbit within 200 km of the moon and now encircles the moon every two hours. During the maneuver, the engines operated for about 78 seconds and the amount of fuel burned was about 11.7 kg.

On Wednesday evening, the last maneuver is expected to take place ahead of the expected landing on Thursday between 22:00 and 23:00 Israel time. The landing process will begin about half an hour before the landing and will be broadcast live.

We'll keep updating!
