Israeli Satellite Launched to Spy on Iran - Ora Coren (Ha'aretz)
The international ImageSat company launched the Eros B high-resolution reconnaissance satellite from Siberia Tuesday to help Israel spy on Iranian nuclear facilities. The satellite can be stationed for an extended time over particularly sensitive targets. The satellite has a camera that can decipher objects on the ground as small as 70 centimeters across. A Russian official said the satellite had reached orbit, but it could not yet be determined if the satellite was operational.
