Israel sent its newest reconnaissance satellite, Ofek-11, into space on Sept. 13 using its indigenous Shavit rocket from the Palmachim Air Base on Sept. 13. However, within hours, the satellite transmitted back home that it had developed some sort of malfunction.
Since then, the satellite has continued to transmit back messages on the state of its health and the Israeli media reported that the spacecraft is not totally lost and work continues to troubleshoot the on board issue.
The Ofek-11 is reported to have a optical camera that offers 70cm resolution.
