JERUSALEM, Aug. 12 (Xinhua) -- Israel plans to launch into space in 2023 an innovative scientific satellite with a unique space telescope that will investigate and record cosmic explosions and black holes, the Weizmann Institute of Science (WIS) in Israel reported Monday.

The project will be led by WIS and the Israel Space Agency (ISA) at the state's Ministry of Science and Technology.

Weighing in at just about 160 kgs, the unique satellite, named "Ultrasat," is planned to be built in Israel over the next four years by the Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) and the Israeli defense electronics company Elbit Systems.

The project is expected to cost some 70 million U.S. dollars over the four years of detailed planning, construction and launch.

The telescope will operate in a range of light that is normally invisible to humans (ultraviolet) with a very large field of view.

"This unique configuration will help us answer some of the big questions in astrophysics," said WIS Professor Eli Waxman, Ultrasat's principle investigator.

WIS President Daniel Zajfman said: "A small country - and a small satellite - can produce big results, even in exploring the wonders of distant outer space."

Avi Blasberger, ISA director, said that "the project will put Israel - and Israeli scientists and engineers - at the forefront of a global movement to explore the universe with small, affordable satellites."
