A part of the Israeli Ministry of Science and Technology, the Israel Space Agency launched its first satellite, Ofeq 1, in 1988. While they have independent hardtech unmanned launch capability, they work with other space agencies to launch their astronauts into space.
Being firm believers in Serious Astronomy and Serious Intelligence, the ISA uses no handwavium in their Shavit-series rockets, Amos-series communications satellites and Ofek-series spy satellites.
The ISA has cooperation agreements with Roskosmos, NASA, ISRO, CNES (France), CSA (Canada), DLR (Germany), NSAU (Ukraine), and NLR (Holland). These agreements focus on sharing satellite imagery of Earth.[1]
