The Israeli government ordered the Dror-1 national communications satellite last month to keep Israel’s primary spacecraft factory from going dormant.
MCS is based on technologies Israel Aerospace Industries is developing for Dror-1, including the digital payload and avionics.
Israel's Dror-1 satellite positions the country as a global contender in the geostationary satellite market.
Dror-1 is a communications satellite being built by Israel Aerospace Industries for the Israeli government under a contract awarded in January 2020.
Dror-1 was developed by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) and is designed for a 15-year mission in geostationary orbit.
