In early 2026, NASA will launch Israel’s first space telescope – the Ultraviolet Transient Astronomy Satellite, or ULTRASAT – into high-Earth orbit, as part of a newly signed partnership between NASA and Israel’s Ministry of Innovation, Science and Technology.
ULTRASAT is a premier project of the Weizmann Institute of Science and the Israel Space Agency. The telescope is expected to revolutionize scientists’ ability to detect and analyze transient events in the universe, such as neutron star mergers and supernova explosions.
