Ofeq-10, also written Ofek-10 and meaning Horizon in Hebrew, is an Israeli reconnaissance satellite of the Ofeq family, designed and built by Israel Aerospace Industries for the Israeli Ministry of Defense. It is an upgraded variant of Ofeq-8 that carries a high-resolution synthetic-aperture radar, so it can observe at night and through clouds, and Wikipedia gives its price as 300 million US dollars. It was launched on 9 April 2014 from Palmachim Airbase on a Shavit launcher, westward into a retrograde orbit, four years after Ofeq-9. Gunter's Space Page lists it as the second TECSAR mission, Ofeq 10 or TECSAR 2, operated by Tsahal with Israel Aerospace Industries as its contractor.
