Historic Israeli spacecraft to launch to the moon this week
Israel’s Beresheet lunar lander will be launched aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket in the coming days, which if successful, will become the first privately funded mission to launch from Earth and land on the moon.
According to a statement from SpaceIL, the nonprofit aerospace company behind the Beresheet project, the launch from Cape Canaveral Florida would be “no later than mid-February 2019.”
