IAI built the Amos-4 satellite for Spacecom Ltd, the Israeli satellite services operator.

Amos-4 will increase the operator’s Ku- and Ka-band capacity, enabling it to expand its top-quality communications and broadcasting services in Israel and international markets.
The satellite weighed about 3 metric tons at launch, and offers payload power of more than 4 kW. Amos-4 will be placed into a geostationary orbit, in a different orbital position than its predecessors, the Amos-1, 2 and 3 satellites. These three satellites are positioned in geostationary orbit at 4° West, allowing Spacecom Ltd. to provide communications services for the Middle East, Central Europe and the United States.
Amos-4 will be positioned in 65° East, allowing Spacecom to provide services to a much wider range of customers, with higher quality, while expanding its footprint to include Asia.
Following Amos-1, Amos-2 and Amos-3, today’s launch of Amos 4 reflects the long-standing cooperation between IAI and Thales Alenia Space, as well as the latter’s leading role in the satellite telecommunications market.
