Earth Resources Observation Satellite (EROS) is a series of Israeli commercial Earth observation satellites, designed and manufactured by Israel Aircraft Industries (IAI), with optical payload supplied by El-Op. The satellites are owned and operated by ImageSat International N.V. (ISI), a company founded in 1997, as a Joint venture between IAI, El-Op and Core Software Technology (CST).[1] EROS A was launched on December 5, 2000 and EROS B on April 25, 2006.
As of November 2017, ImageSat International is controlled by Private-equity fund "FIMI".[2] In July 2021, ImageSat announced a partnership with "e-GEOS", a company owned by the Italian Space Agency and Telespazio, to consolidate their assets, including COSMO-SkyMed Satellites, to form one satellite constellation.[3]
