Israel launched its first orbital satellite aboard an Israeli-built rocket. The Horizon I experimental satellite was launched from an Israeli launch facility in the Negev desert aboard what U.S. experts believed was either a Jericho II or a Comet launch vehicle, The Horizon I was expected to have an operational lifetime of one month in low-Earth orbit.
