India launches Israeli satellite

[nhboy]

"India has successfully launched an Israeli spy satellite into orbit, officials at the Sriharikota space station in southern India say.

The Israeli press is reporting that the satellite will improve Israel's ability to monitor Iran's military activities.

Indian officials said that given these sensitivities, the operation was secret and carried out under tight security.

The Tecsar satellite - sometimes referred to as the Polaris - was put into space on Monday morning."

A satelite of that kind now gives Israel the capacity to launch and direct an ICBM over the North Pole.

And I might point out that a polaris position is far from an ideal location for monitoring Iran.

Just FYI.

This it too good. Now JPC Sr is trying to convince us he's a rocket scientist! Christ, will the entertainment never end with this idiot?

Well if you try reading some informative books and educate yourself then you too could know more then just the sport scores.

Sorry, Jimmy. You have confused me with Andy there. I'll stack my undergraduate and post-graduate degrees against yours any day. You want to compete on reading scientific literature, bring it!

:shrug: How is it that I am the only one commenting on the actual subject?

My point expanded was that now our so-called "friendy ally" Israel now has the capacity to launch and deliver a nuclear ICBM to the USA, but the Bush administration in its determination to protect the USA from nuclear attacks is preaching against Countries like Iran and North Korea and use-to-be preaching it against Iraq while none of those Countries have anything near the capacity that Israel is ever escalating.

That "friendy" Israel satelite is equivolent to pointing a loaded gun down our throats while Bush plans to attack incompetant Iran.

So I still see mine as an FYI conclusion.

a polaris position

WTF are you talking about?

WTF are you talking about?

That's the name of the satellite but Jimmy got into a sexual hallucination and dreamed up a new position for us all. Has something to do with a nuclear bullet down the throat.

Oh, JIMMY?

I wish the Indians and the Israeli's would at least come up with original names.

The Polaris is the missile on our Atomic Nuclear Submarines if I am not mistaken.

"Polaris" is the name of the North Star link HERE,

and the satilite is being called polaris because it is being positioned in a polar orbit link HERE.

So this is an example of "Lenny's" under gradute degree or maybe his post graduate degree,

but neither degree gave "Lenny" the ability to actually comment on the subject itself.

Our Colleges and Universities do have big need for improvements.

Good, the more eyes on Iran and Syria, the better!!!

And the Soviets have an Oscar-class submarine. Does that mean they are grouches or want to be part of Sesame Street?

Not sure why I'm bothering, but:
FTA:
"The 300kg (650-pound) satellite is reported to be Israel's most advanced space craft, and equipped with a camera that can take pictures in almost any weather conditions."

After about 30 seconds of cursory research:
Polar orbit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Polar orbits are often used for earth-mapping-, earth observation- and reconnaissance satellites, as well as some weather satellites. The disadvantage to this orbit is that no one spot on the Earth's surface can be sensed continuously from a satellite in a polar orbit."
And:
Israel Missile Update 2005
"The three-stage Jericho-III missile, reportedly under development, is believed to have a range of 4,800 kilometers."

Now, how does an Israeli recon satellite and medium range ICBM threaten the US?

They are probably going to try to free Jonathan Pollard. Or bomb our ships.
