Ofeq-9, also known as Ofek 9, meaning Horizon in Hebrew, is a reconnaissance satellite of the Ofeq family designed and built by Israel Aerospace Industries for the Israeli Ministry of Defense. It was launched on 22 June 2010 at 19:00 UTC from Palmachim Airbase in Israel, delivered by an improved version of the Shavit launcher. Its payload is believed to be the multi-spectral Jupiter space camera made by El-Op. Precise imaging capabilities remain classified, but sources say that like the still operating Ofeq-5 and Ofeq-7 it offers a resolution much better than half a metre, and that it can detect objects carried by people. The satellite operates in a retrograde low Earth orbit. Gunter's Space Page lists it as part of the second generation Ofeq group built on the OPSAT-2000 bus, with IAI as contractor.
