India to launch Israel-backed satellite

India next month will launch a new "remote-sensing" satellite built with Israeli "inputs," the Indian Space Research Organization said Saturday. ISRO spokesman S. Satish told CNN that it would be a radar-imaging satellite equipped with all-weather capability. "It's an Indian satellite built with inputs from the Israeli aerospace industry. It will be launched from a PSLV in April," Satish said. A PSLV is a polar satellite launch vehicle. Satish did not confirm reports of any possible use of the rocket for defense or spying purposes.
