65th International Astronautical Congress 2014 48th IAA HISTORY OF ASTRONAUTICS SYMPOSIUM (E4) Scientific technical histories (2)

摘要

During the late 1960's, a sudden interest in practical rocketry at Israel's Technion technical institute and at the Bosmat technical high school, affiliated to the Technion rose, and the result was a series of original rockets that launched and reached several kilometers into the skies. The paper described these "days of Genesis" in the rocketry projects, inspired by a small group of enthusiast engineers from Israel's society of astronautics. Those small rockets were a very humble beginning of Israel quest for space, culminating 20 years later, Israel loft its satellite to space by its indigenously designed "Shavit" launch vehicle.
