Here's how to watch live today as Israel aims to become the 4th 'lunar nation':
It will have to work fast because the length of the mission is only a couple of days. Beresheet is fitted with a magnetometer to study the moon's magnetic field, and the aim is to gather data to help researchers figure out why the moon's magnetic field varies in the Sea of Serenity. Another task for Beresheet is to leave one of NASA's retroreflectors on the lunar surface for reflecting laser beams from Earth onto the Moon.
That competition ended with no winners on March 31, 2018, but SpaceIL was one of the finalists and pushed ahead with its mission. The mission's firsts don't stop there. Beresheet will also be the smallest lunar lander on the moon, weighing just 600kg.
