The Ofeq series of satellites from Israel are the only satellites launched into highly retrograde Earth orbits specified for Earth observation use.

CapabilityGeneralValue 3.5Jan 13, 2026...the only ones ever placed in such highly retrograde Earth orbits specified for Earth observation use are the Ofeq series from the Israelis, and that's because they can only launch satellites westward. Dafuq China and SAST? And the "-01" means there will be more than one...

EROS C1 and EROS C2 may be part of the Ofeq series of Israeli reconnaissance satellites built by Israel Aerospace Industries that operate in mid-inclination retrograde orbits.
