Palmachim
Israeli air base and missile test site, located south of Tel Aviv at 31.9° N, 34.7° E, from which the Shavit satellite launch vehicle is deployed. Due-west launches over the Mediterranean are required to avoid overflying Arab countries, resulting in unique orbital inclinations (142-144°) and direction.
