[edit] Absolute nonsense

This article seems to be a work of fiction:

1. Israel did not launch its first satellite untill 1988.
2. The only carrier rockets Israel has used have been called Shavit and Shavit 1. No Shavit 2
3. The only reference to a "Shavit 2" I can find is a cancelled commercial programme
4. The image is of the launch of a Shavit 1 in 2002, with the Ofek 5 spacecraft

I have little doubt that, given more time, I could pick more holes in this. --GW_Simulations_{User Page | Talk} 20:29, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

I agree with your information and recommend removal for having the wrong information. Bluetooth954 21:18, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Slow down. By reading the sources in Hevrew this does not look like nonsense. I am checking it out with rockets expert. Chagai 22:19, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Absolute True

I checked the sources, and all the information is accurate and backed by reliable sources. It is based on the following books in Hebrew:

• רפא"ל - בניבי המחקר והפיתוח לביטחון ישראל, מאת מוניה מרדור, משרד הביטחון, ההוצאה לאור, ת"א, 1980, ע"ע 319-348
• מעל האופק - 50 שנות פעילות ישראלית בחלל, מאת דני שלום, באויר פרסומי תעופה, ת"א, 2003, ע"ע 12-15

The above in English:

• RAFAEL Armament Development Authority... by Munia Merdor, Ministry of Defense publitiong, 1980, pages 319-348.
• Above the Horizon, 50 years of Israel's Space Activity, by Dani Shalom, BaAvir flight publishing, 2003, pages 12-15.

Therefore, I am taking all citation needed out. I am still not sure regarding the picture - continue checking. Chagai 10:59, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

• References need to be in the article. I can't add them because I don't speak the language (Hebrew?), please can someone who does check and add them. --GW_Simulations_{User Page | Talk} 20:37, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
