Here is another reason Israel may have wanted to work with Nozette: industrial espionage.

Or maybe they wanted to pick Nozette’s brain on the success of the Clementine program which is mentioned as coming in at $75 million (1994 dollars) and in 22 months from concept to launch. Those figures are from the fact sheet and are not typos. As I recall–memory being what it is–the Clementine mission had a zero second launch window.
