Quality of New Israeli Satellite Photos "Excellent" - Ora Koren (Ha'aretz)
Photographs sent over the weekend from a new Israeli satellite placed in orbit to monitor Iranian nuclear developments were of "excellent" quality. Eros B, launched on Tuesday from Siberia, transmitted its first pictures to Earth on Friday. "We see people walking in streets [in the photos], not to mention cars traveling," said ImageSat CEO Shimon Eckhaus. "The satellite can get a shot of any spot in the world....We also have a picture of an air force base in Sudan....The photos reach us minutes after they've been taken," he said.
