AMOS-8 was a planned Israeli communications satellite, one of the Spacecom AMOS series, to be built by Maxar Technologies, a US defense and aerospace company, to replace AMOS-3 and AMOS-7
Terminology
AMOS stands for "Affordable Modular Optimized Satellite" and is also an allusion to the prophet Amos.[1]
History
AMOS-8 was to include flexible high power Ku-band, Ka-band, and S-band payloads with steerable antennas to enable customers to deliver various added value services. Spacecom had originally selected in March 2018 SSL to build the satellite, for US$112 million, but in September 2018 it was announced, that the satellite would not be built by SSL,.[2] Eventually the project was cancelled by Spacecom Satellite Communications.
The Government of Israel decided to order a satellite named "Dror-1", this satellite will be built by the state-owned Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) to preserve the satellite building capability, although at a much higher price.[3]
