International Astronautical Congress in Jerusalem

The Israel Space Agency is honored to host the IAF-IAC 66th Congress in Jerusalem. More than 3,500 participants are expected to attend, including several hundred delegates and exhibitors.

The IAC 2015 theme is: "Space - The Gateway for Mankind’s Future". Space is a non-sovereignty entity, belonging universally to all, without borders or limits. Space is the platform for creating future excellence and economic advantage. Space science and exploration demands comprehensive technological expertise, producing and providing giant leaps in global technology development, such as communication, computerization, new materials and much more. Space exploration enables mankind to better understand the creation of planet earth, the universe’s make-up, and how to benefit from space to keep planet earth safe and thriving.

Many of Israel’s high-tech companies, with their diverse space industrial facilities, space technology, expertise, and know-how, have much to offer to the international space community. Israel’s academia and research institutions represent the cutting-edge of research, technology, development, and space exploration, which will be available for IAC participants to experience, gain first- hand knowledge and discover.
