Parts of astronaut Ramon’s experiment sent to Israel
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThirteen years after the death of Israeli astronaut Ilan Ramon in the Columbia shuttle explosion, NASA delivers to Israel the remnants of an experiment conducted by him in space.
The fragments, which consist of parts of a camera, were delivered at the request of his widow, Rona Ramon, in honor of Israel’s Space Week. She said she wanted young people in the country to be inspired by them.
The experiment dealt with the properties of dust particles above the Mediterranean.
