Except that they are, and they have. Just why this one went to a Russian launcher is a bit unclear; maybe it outgrew the Shavit. Thanks. I tried to Google it, and I just couldn't remember anything close to the proper spelling. So how do you think they handled the technology transfer problem? I'm sure it doesn't have anything new the Russians haven't already thought of or used, but you never know. What technology transfer? I'm sure Israeli officials accompianied the satellite and retained control over it throughout. It's not like they FedExed it to Tyura-Tam errrr, I mean Baikonur and asked them to launch it sometime Dale |

I guess the Russians have taken well to capitalism... selling nuclear tech and weapons to Iran, and then selling launches to Israel to spy said items. |
