Это что за чудо?

Картинки не видно, но это оптическая камера "Юпитер" "Офека" 2-го поколения (-5, -6, -7, -9).

Ответ на предыдущий вопрос, который дал гуглепереводчик

Новое пространство Юпитера камеры Elbit Systems
IAI является главным подрядчиком строительства спутников и отправляет октября кометы. Elbit Uelaup разработки изображений с высоким разрешением камеры.

В переводе с тарабарского то, что написал чуть выше Леон

Есть данные по апертуре камеры?

Какие-то данные есть, но дома. Постараюсь посмотреть.

New Israeli Recon Sat Targets Iran

With the observation satellite Ofeq-9 placed in low Earth orbit June 22, Israel now has six operational remote sensing satellites in space: the Ofeq-5 and 7 military observation satellites; ImageSat's commercial/military EROS-A and EROS-B1, and Israel Aerospace Industries' (AIA) TechSAR day/night all-weather synthetic aperture radar satellite, now designated Ofeq-8.

Это действительно так, насчет ТекСАРа?

The 300-kg. (660-lb.) Ofeq-9, based on the IAI/MBT OptSat-2000 platform, represents a minor improvement over its predecessors, Ofeq-5 and 7. Equipped with Elbit El-Op's "Neptune" High-Resolution Remote Sensing Camera, it provides resolution smaller than 50 cm. in monochromatic imagery, as well as panchromatic imaging capability.

The next Ofeq satellite will signal a major improvement in Israel's reconnaissance capability. It will be based on the slightly larger OptSat3000 platform and will accommodate Elbit's new Jupiter remote sensing camera, believed to have a better resolution, as well as multispectral imaging capability.

Чтобы избавиться о "проклятья четных номеров", новому спутнику дали имя Ofeq-9. А чтобы имя Ofeq-8 не пустовало, задним числом его вроде присвоили TechSAR_у.

Да, камера-таки Neptune. Я по памяти тут раньше написал - Jupiter, а сейчас сверился с материалами, и вижу, что ошибся. Jupiter будет стоять на аппаратах 3-го поколения (OPSAT-3000). Если будет.  :?

Чтобы избавиться о "проклятья четных номеров", ...

Вот щас TechSAR кааак откажет...    (тьфу-тьфу-тьфу)

Типун Вам, батенька... :wink:  Но вообще-то "проклятье" действует на РН, так что уже не страшно.

Ага, спасибо. Интересно.

New Israeli Recon Sat Targets Iran

Jun 25, 2010
 
By Michael A. Taverna

Israel's newest reconnaissance satellite is seen as boosting the country's intelligence capabilities against Iran.

With the observation satellite Ofeq-9 placed in low Earth orbit June 22, Israel now has six operational remote sensing satellites in space: the Ofeq-5 and 7 military observation satellites; ImageSat's commercial/military EROS-A and EROS-B1, and Israel Aerospace Industries' (AIA) TechSAR day/night all-weather synthetic aperture radar satellite, now designated Ofeq-8.

"From now on, no country in the region will be able to conduct clandestine activities at times when there is no Israeli satellite above it, since there will be no such times," said Yitzhak Ben-Israel, chairman of the Israeli Space Agency.

"If each satellite completes an orbit every 90 minutes and with six satellites in space, you can calculate the frequency that we can observe any given target," Brig. Gen. Nimrod Sheffer, Israel Air Force chief of staff, told AVIATION WEEK. "Even with the other side being aware it is under observation, it will be hard to conceal activities in the course of time."

The 300-kg. (660-lb.) Ofeq-9, based on the IAI/MBT OptSat-2000 platform, represents a minor improvement over its predecessors, Ofeq-5 and 7. Equipped with Elbit El-Op's "Neptune" High-Resolution Remote Sensing Camera, it provides resolution smaller than 50 cm. in monochromatic imagery, as well as panchromatic imaging capability.

However, Sheffer says, "it represents a significant improvement in intelligence gathering, both in quantity and quality, and will dramatically enhance our target investigation capabilities."

Israel's space program originally intended to deploy at least two optical satellites and one SAR surveillance satellite at any given moment, with each satellite expected to last five years. However, both the Ofeq-5, which was launched in 2002, and EROS-A, launched in 2000, have long exceeded their expected lifespan. The Ofeq satellites are designed for optimal solar array exposure to maximize power.

"We have enjoyed moderate solar activity in recent years, which enabled the satellites to continue functioning," said Haim Eshed, head of Space Programs at Israel's Ministry of Defense. "However, it is impossible to predict how much longer they will endure."

The Ofeq-9 was launched on an improved version of Israel's three-stage solid-fuel Shavit satellite launch vehicle, believed to be a derivative of Israel's two-stage Jericho II intermediate-range ballistic missile. The Ofeq program had suffered from several setbacks in the past decades with Ofeq-2 (in 1991), 4 (in 1998) and 6 (in 2004) lost during launch due to failures in the Shavit SLV.

The Ofeq satellites are launched from Palmachim Air Force Base, south of Tel Aviv. The missions are considered particularly complex since they are always conducted from the Mediterranean shore westbound — counter to the Earth's rotation — to ensure that the initial trajectory is above the sea so that the satellite will not fall on hostile territory in case of a failure.

The next Ofeq satellite will signal a major improvement in Israel's reconnaissance capability. It will be based on the slightly larger OptSat3000 platform and will accommodate Elbit's new Jupiter remote sensing camera, believed to have a better resolution, as well as multispectral imaging capability.
