Israel gives away the spy
Israel has just launched its high-end spy satellite on Monday, allowing the satellite to track Iran's activities, which Israel sees as its number one enemy. Defense officials said the satellite could track night activities and cloudy weather.
The TESCAR planet has a particularly important role to play in Israel because it is used to monitor Iran's nuclear program, which both the US and Israel are concerned about as the cover of Iran's nuclear weapons.
The satellite is developed by the Israeli Aviation Industry (IAI), operating with a special radar system that allows it to observe more than the current Ofek satellite using cameras. The spokesperson for the project asked for anonymity because they were not allowed to disclose to the press.
Israel supports US efforts to mobilize the international community to pressure Tehran for its nuclear program. Iran stresses that this program is used to produce energy.
The company claims to launch the satellite via a statement: 'The TECSAR satellite is the first satellite developed by the Israeli group and classified into one of the most advanced commodity systems in the world.' The satellite includes a modern imaging system based on SAR (synthetic aperture radar) technology.
The process of developing and launching satellites is worth 10 million dollars. Within 2 weeks, Israel hopes to receive satellite images.
IAI said Israel and India cooperated to launch the satellite with an Indian missile from southeastern India. Israeli Haaretz newspaper said TESCAR satellite weighs about 230 kg, according to an unnamed employee. Israel currently operates several reconnaissance satellites including Ofek 5 and Ofek 7 as well as several commercial satellites such as Amos and EROS.
