Israel Seeks To Enhance SLV Capability

TEL AVIV [MENL] -- Israel, in an effort to enhance national security and
expand its global market share, has sought to increase the capability of its
space launch vehicles.
The state-owned Israel Aerospace Industries has begun an effort to
improve its SLVs to ensure reliable and accurate satellite transport.
Executives said IAI's goal was to increase effectiveness as well as lower
the cost of a satellite project.
"The goal is to make launches cheaper and more available," David
Bergman, director of space launch at IAI's MLM division, said.
