Israel Space Agency

Israel Space Agency is Israel's national space agency under the Ministry of Innovation, Science and Technology, with a mandate covering national civil space activity and international cooperation.^[1] It was founded in 1983 and is associated with Israeli space programmes including VENuS and the EROS satellite series.^[2] For EO buyers, its strongest role is as a programme and coordination actor rather than a data storefront: VENuS is documented as an ISA-partnered Earth observation mission launched in August 2017, while the EROS series is documented as a commercial imaging satellite line linked to Israeli space activity.^[3][4] A 2025 government release also describes a national space R&D laboratory and a NIS 600 million five-year civilian space investment, making ISA relevant to buyers tracking Israel's downstream space technology pipeline.^[5]
