Ilan Ramon's Space Diary Secured at Israel's National Library

The personal journal of Israel's first astronaut, recovered from the Columbia shuttle disaster, is now preserved alongside other historic artifacts.

Ilan Ramon’s diary survived the 2003 Columbia shuttle disaster and was found among the debris in Texas.
The diary includes entries from Ramon's space mission, detailing daily routines and significant moments.
After two decades at the Israel Museum, the diary has been transferred to the National Library of Israel.
The diary is stored in a climate-controlled vault and may be included in a future public exhibition.
Ramon's diary joins other notable artifacts, including works by Isaac Newton and Maimonides.
