EROS C3, the sharpest satellite ImageSat International has ever flown, delivers sub-30-cm resolution imagery — precise enough to distinguish the make and model of a parked car from orbit. Built and operated by an Israeli commercial company with deep ties to Israeli defense contractors, EROS satellites have historically served both civilian mapping customers and, per widely reported industry assessments, Israeli and allied intelligence agencies — a dual-use business model ImageSat has never fully separated in its public marketing.
