ImageSat International - operator of Israel's Eros imaging satellite - will focus on the national security market after failing to increase business in the civil market.
ImageSat has moved its central archiving system from Cyprus to its ground control station in Israel.
The failure to break into the civil market led to a decision to end an agreement with Core Software, ImageSat's North American distributor. The company is looking for opportunities to re-enter the North American market.
The Eros high-resolution satellite programme was developed to serve the civil and defence markets.
