Israel’s SpaceIL is one of only five teams (out of 33 starters) to reach the final of the Google Lunar XPrize competition, which will award $20 million to the first private team to land a vehicle safely on the surface of the Moon.  The five teams all now have verified launch contracts.  The announcement also coincides with Israel Space Week.
