The opening as it read in 2025

Israel-Italian satellite system Spaceborne Hyperspectral Applicative Land and Ocean Mission ( SHALOM ) is a joint mission by the Israeli Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency to develop a hyperspectral satellite . The mission was agreed upon in late 2010, and was originally intended to build two commercial hyperspectral satellites. Preliminary studies for the program started in 2012, with Phase A completed in 2013. A Joint Integrated Team from Italy and Israel perform preliminary definition and studies until 2014. By 2014, the project has evolved into building only one satellite. Phase B1 started in 2017 and was expected to last 12 months. In October 2015 a memorandum of understanding was signed, and the system was slated to become fully operational in 2021, later pushed to 2022. As of December 2021, SHALOM is expected to be operational by 2025. The project is expected to cost over $200 million, with the cost being split evenly between the two countries.
