India to Launch More Israeli Spy Satellites - Debka

Debka:

Last month, the Israeli TecSar satellite was successfully launched into polar orbit by an Indian space rocket from the Sriharikota space center in east India. Tecsar is an advanced satellite equipped with a camera that can take high-resolution photos of small targets through clouds and fog. The polar orbit complements Israel’s Ofek series by providing additional angles on Iran’s nuclear sites.

New Delhi is willing for its Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV), which has carried 11 launches since 1994, to boost more Israeli satellite projects for the substantial revenue and kudos they net for India. The government is therefore carrying on regardless of strong condemnation from the Communist party.
