The mission launches the 519th launch of SpaceX as a overall, and is 85th 2025.In the coming days, Dror-1 will open its solar panels and antennas and start maneuver in its final geostationary class, a process is expected to take about two weeks.IAI described the mission as a milestone for Israel’s space capabilities, which demonstrates its ability to develop and deploy state -of -the -art satellite techniques using most local resources.
