[Jerusalem Post] Yaakov Katz - A satellite jointly launched by Iran and China on Sunday has no military applications and can't collect intelligence on IDF installations, said Tal Inbar, a senior researcher at the Fisher Institute for Air and Space Strategic Studies. The research satellite, developed jointly by Thailand, Iran and China, was successfully launched into orbit by a Chinese rocket. Inbar said the satellite's resolution was sufficient to track water levels as well as forest growth, but "is not high enough to have military value."
