SpaceIL is working to promote science and education. It was established in 2011 aiming to land the first Israeli spacecraft on the Moon. The organization was founded by three young engineers: Yariv Bash, Kfir Damari and Yonatan Winetraub who answered the international challenge presented by Google Lunar XPRIZE: to build, launch and land an unmanned spacecraft on the Moon. On April 2019 SpaceIL became the first private organization to ever reach the moon and made Israel the 7th country in the world to succeed in this achievement. SpaceIL’s Beresheet-1 spacecraft inspired millions around the globe and sparked a new generation of explorers, engineers, scientists and entrepreneurs. Today team SpaceIL is working on it’s  next space mission in parallel to continue building and promoting educational activities in Israel and around the world.
