  • The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) denied that the Radar Imaging Satellite (RISAT) due to be launched shortly by the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle from the Sriharikota spaceport is developed by Israel. ISRO Chairman K. Madhavan Nair asserted that the satellite was Indian-built1.

    Nevertheless, ISRO officials were ambiguous in their statements about Israeli technical inputs in the satellite. There is speculation that Israel may have provided the Synthetic Aperture Radar for the satellite.
