Good to know:
The Space Division is considered the home of Israel’s space industry, with over 40 years of experience across all space domains. The division develops a wide range of satellites — including communication, observation, and scientific research satellites — from nano and mini satellites to ground control stations, mission centers, and launch systems.
Our integrated solutions and systems are widely used by the IDF and additional defense organizations around the world. We also develop comprehensive communication and broadcasting solutions for a broad range of applications, from national security to civilian-commercial markets.
This is a highly significant role within a first-of-its-kind satellite project, serving as a strategic cornerstone in a large-scale multi-satellite national program unlike anything previously developed in Israel.
