New Space

Needs and applications

Maris’ solutions have been qualified for use in space as part of intelligent observation and monitoring systems. In 2019, SpaceIL, in cooperation with Israel Aerospace Industries, launched a small lunar lander. Maris’ video system was mounted on the space probe to monitor status and progress. The system was able to capture and transmit images and videos during orbit.

Case study

In 2019, SpaceIL, an Israeli non-profit organization that works to promote science and science education, in cooperation with Israel Aerospace Industries, launched a small robotic lunar lander to the moon. The launch was part of a project aimed at advancing and encouraging studies in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Maris’ Neptune-Space video system was mounted on a space probe to monitor the space flight and planned moon landing. Although a malfunction caused the probe to crash on the moon, Maris’ video system was able to capture and transmit images and videos during orbit and up to the moment of impact.
