Footage from Israel's TESCAR satellite, recently
launched into space has successfully transmitted
images.
The Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) reported
that the satellite, which could boost Israel's
intelligence gathering capabilities regarding
Iran, was working perfectly.
The IAI added that satellite's first photos,
including a topographical picture of the Latrun
memorial monument, were received with very high
quality.
Yitzhak Nitzan, head of IAI, said the satellite's
capabilities were a huge technological
achievement. Nitzan added that the IAI had
initially begun the TESCAR project with only
little knowledge and large financial constraints,
yet managed to achieve perfect results.
Defense establishment officials stated that the
TESCAR, which was sent into orbit from India on
January 21, is Israel's best satellite to date.
