The new satellite was built at the IA's Mbat plant in the center of the country and according to sources in the industry, it is "the most advanced intelligence satellite made in Israel". Two previous satellites of the Eros series of satellites are Eros A which was launched into space at the end of 2000 and Eros B which was launched in 2006.

When you say "Eros" is the most advanced satellite, what does that mean? Can you outline some specs for us that we can compare with NASA and others and then understand the technological improvements and capability in this Sat?

Not sure if it's the 2017 satellite it's based on or the new 2022 satellite, but:
Panchromatic imagery at a resolution of 0.30 m, and multispectral imagery at a resolution of 0.60m.

30cm resolution is very sharp. Commercial satellites are usually 1-2 meter resolution satellites.

That's pretty cool. .3 meters means about 1 foot so essentially it can provide crispy image of pretty much everything. Even a poodle and a cat are usually about a foot

Since it's a military Satellite, I would imagine it's not just limited to high pixels, it would have other functions too such as RF modulation / EW, etc?

Haven't found any details on it honestly.
