The Asher Space Research Institute at the Technion, in collaboration with the National Centre for Space and Science in the United Arab Emirates and the Imagest International, are developing a first-of-its-kind technological demonstrator to address the global climate crisis. As part of the demonstration, a satellite will be developed to control and reduce the amount of solar energy that reaches the earth from the sun, thereby reducing global warming by up to one and a half degrees per year. https://www.yediot.co.il/articles/0,7340,L-6328321,00.html https://www.israeldefense.co.il/node/58428 https://www.maariv.co.il/business/tech/Article-1013307 https://www.ynet.co.il/environment-science/article/bklaix0i2#autoplay
