Ofeq-7, also written Ofek 7 or Offek-7, is an Earth observation satellite of the Ofeq family designed and built by Israel Aerospace Industries for the Israeli Ministry of Defense. A Shavit 2 space launch vehicle placed it in orbit on 10 June 2007 from Israel, into an elliptical orbit of roughly 300 by 600 km. Three days after launch, on 13 June 2007, the IAI MBT Space Division received the first images it had taken. Wikipedia describes it as equipped with new enhancements for improved imagery and as the follow-on to Ofeq-5, which entered orbit in 2002. Gunter's Space Page groups it with Ofeq 5, 6 and 9 as the second generation of Israeli reconnaissance satellites, built on the OPSAT-2000 bus and operated for the Israeli armed forces, and notes the Ofeq series flies retrograde orbits because of Israel's launch geography.
