India Launches Israeli-Built Radar Spy Satellite
20 Apr 2009
India has launched an Israeli built military spy satellite. The spy satellite launch highlights growing defense ties between Israel and India.
The satellite will help Indian agencies monitor the country's international borders and anticipate any troop build-up or infiltration attempts by militant groups. The all weather spy satellite is capable of providing clear images throughout the year.
India is expanding its space capabilities and last year. It launched 10 satellites into orbit from a single rocket and sent its first unmanned moon mission, joining the Asian space race in the footsteps of rival China.
