On Thursday, for the very first time, a live broadcast will connect Israel to the international space station. The Israel Space Agency and the Hebrew University (HU) initiated the occasion.

The screening will occur in real time especially to Israel from the space station. It will constitute a lecture that will be demonstrated by Italian astronaut Luca Parmitano. He is part of the mission for the European Space Agency.

The Wise Auditorium on HU's Givat Ram campus, high school pupils and university students will get an opportunity to hear and watch his lecture. The lecture will include the type of life in the space station.

The young Israelis will also be able to put on queries of Parmitano during the broadcast. On June 5, 2013, the European Space Agency sent an ATV (automated transfer vehicle). This vehicle will carry supplies to the space station and is named for Albert Einstein.

It is one of the biggest and most complicated vehicles that are manufactured in Europe. It carries the heaviest supplies sent to space. The amount of supply it carries is enough that can support life for six months in space station.

The European agency looked for the permission of the Israel Space Agency to name the space station after Einstein two years back. The Italian astronaut went to space for a 166-day mission, during which he will execute nearly 20 scientific experiments.
