Space-Communication Ltd, the AMOS satellites operator, is a public company traded at the
Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE) and equally controlled by IAI (Israel Aircraft Industries),
Eurocom, GSSC and H. Mer group.
Spacecom started its operation as the exclusive market and service provider of the AMOS-1
satellite, developed and launched by IAI in May 1996. The success of the company in
marketing the services of the AMOS-1 satellite, at its two main coverage areas in Europe and
the Middle East, quickly made available-capacity on the satellite scarce, and became the
main drive to initiate the AMOS-2 satellite program. AMOS-2, based on Spacecom’s
specifications and built by IAI, was launched on December 27th 2003, from the Baikonur
Cosmodrome, on board of a Soyuz rocket.
The company has completed its initial public offering in the first quarter of 2005, and
announced the initiation of its AMOS-3 program, targeting the launch of its third
communication satellite by the end of 2007. With the 2 co-located satellites at 4°W, and the
AMOS-2 additional coverage of the US east coast, the Amos-system provides powerful
beams, wide coverage areas, and high quality service to its customers. At launch, more than
70% of AMOS-2 capacity has already been sold to existing and new customers. AMOSSystem is the choice of Israel’s DBS TV platform YES, as well as a selected solution for major
broadcasters in Europe for providing their regional programming. These include, among
others, HBO for all of its European cable services and Nickelodeon of Viacom. AMOS System
creates a "Hot Spot" at its location, and a rich neighborhood for thousands of cable headends and millions of DTH viewers.

EngRig is the best solution for ”front heavy” full size shoulder camcorders. The camera front
is supported by the “Active Suspension Support Pod” and a comfortable padded support belt.
The support attachment connected to the camera bottom allows normal use of the original
Quick Release plate or Matte Box rods. The adjustable support point can balance virtually any
shoulder camera size. The EngRig takes off the load from the arm, and most of the load from
the shoulder. it maintains the camera’s horizontal level and absorbs walking shots shakes.
The support pod can be locked for long static shots or unlocked for smooth suspended tilts,
pans, smooth walking shots and any other camera maneuvers.
