Spacecom was established in 1993 with a defined goal of marketing AMOS 1, a newly built communication satellite manufactured by Israel Aerospace Industries. In 2003 Spacecom launched its second satellite, AMOS 2, owned entirely by the company. In 2008 AMOS 3 satellite was launched to replace AMOS 1 and to increase coverage and traffic abilities.[1]
Until 2005, Spacecom was a private company controlled by four companies, including IAI and Eurocom Group. It went public on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange in 2005.[2][3][4]
Spacecom satellites provide coverage to most of the Middle East, East-Central Europe and an Atlantic bridge from those areas to North America. AMOS 4 will placed above East Asia and AMOS 5 over Africa to provide the company coverage in these fast growing markets.[5]
