Tehran – Iran is the ninth country in the world to successfully launch its own satellite, following the Soviet Union, the United States, France, Japan, China, the United Kingdom, India and the Zionist regime.
Since 2005, Iran has joined the club of space nations by sending the Sina 1 satellite sent into orbit with the help of Russia. We plan to use it to expand domestic space utilization and space technology.
Iran was then able to move towards satellite launches by creating a scientific infrastructure that was accomplished by developing a space launch terminal, in addition to designing and manufacturing satellites.
In addition to the development of space launch terminals, the development of satellite carriers has also been effective in achieving the domestic satellite design and manufacturing cycle.
The “Safir” satellite carrier was designed and built in 2008 and the “Simorgh” satellite carrier in 2017. “Sarir” and “Soroush” satellite carriers have also been added to the country’s space technology.
Iran has successfully launched several satellites using this device, some of them successful and some unsuccessful.
“Sina-1” was the first Iranian satellite to be launched aboard a Cosmos-3M Russian rocket from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome at 6:52 UTC on October 28, 2005. Her two missions on this satellite were remote sensing, receiving, storing, and transmitting communication data.
Iran launches first self-made satellite “Omid” (Hope), 2009. After being launched by the Iranian-made carrier rocket Safir 1, the satellite was put into low earth orbit. Omid was a data processing satellite for research and communications. The launch, which coincided with his 30th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution, was confirmed as a success by NASA the next day. With Omid’s launch, Iran became her ninth country to develop a domestically produced satellite launch capability.
“Rasad” (observed) was another Iranian satellite launched in 2011. Rasad, Iran’s third satellite and his second to be successfully launched using a home-grown rocket, was Iran’s first imaging satellite. Launched aboard a Safir-B carrier rocket, it successfully entered low earth orbit at an altitude of 236 x 299 km (147 x 186 mi) and an inclination of 55.7 degrees. I did about 15 laps a day. The launch took place on June 15, 2011 at approximately 09:14 UTC, and the spacecraft reached orbit a few minutes later.
The satellite had a mass of 15.3 kilograms (34 pounds) and returned images with a resolution of 150 meters (490 feet). It had a solar panel that generated electricity. The satellite disintegrated from orbit on July 6, 2011, three weeks after her launch.
“Navid” (Promise) was an experimental Iranian earth observation satellite. As her third satellite independently launched by Iran, it carries a camera to take high-resolution images of the Earth, and was also used to collect weather data and monitor natural disasters. The launch took place on February 3, 2012 at approximately 00:04 UTC. The satellite remained in orbit for two months before she re-entered the atmosphere on April 1, 2012.
“Fajr” (Dawn) The satellite was launched on February 2, 2015. It weighed 52 kg and was equipped with an optical imaging payload that reached a ground resolution of about 500 meters (1,600 feet). It was the first Iranian satellite to use a cold gas thruster system for orbital maneuvers to increase its orbit and prevent rapid collapse, thereby extending its useful life. Fazil was launched by a Saphir-1B rocket from the Iranian Space Agency’s launch site in the city of Semnan. The satellite was deployed in a low earth orbit with a perigee of 224 km, apogee of 470 km, an inclination of 55.53°, and an orbital period of 91.5 minutes.
“payam” (Message) The satellite was launched on 15 January 2019 by the Simorgh satellite carrier, but the then-Minister of Communications and Information Technology Mohammad Javad Azari Jahromi announced that the launch was not successful and the Payam satellite was not put into orbit. did not. The rocket carrying the Payam satellite failed to reach the “necessary speed” during the third stage of launch. It was designed and developed by experts from the Amir Kabir Institute of Technology to carry out imaging and communications missions. It was intended to orbit the Earth at an altitude of 500 kilometers to take survey images in high resolution.
“Dusty” The (Friendship) satellite was the second Iranian satellite to fail to launch in 2017. This was his 52-kilogram satellite of the micro class, developed by experts from the Sharif Institute of Technology. It was a remote sensing satellite orbiting the Earth at altitudes between 250km and 310km. The satellite was launched on a Safir-1B rocket in February 2019, but did not reach orbit.
“Zafar-1”is an imaging satellite launched in 2012 that failed to achieve the velocity required to reach orbit. After failing to reach orbit, it plummeted into the Indian Ocean.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) elite forces said:Nor-1′ On April 22, 2020, the satellite (Light) was launched by the domestic launcher Qassed (Messenger) and was put into orbit at an altitude of 425km. The launch of her Noor-1, the Islamic Republic’s first military satellite, took place on the anniversary of the establishment of the IRGC.
“Noor 2”The second and only operational satellite of the Noor class, was launched into an orbit of 500 kilometers on March 8, 2022. The satellite’s mission was reconnaissance, and it entered orbit after 480 seconds at a speed of 6.7 km/s. Two Noor satellites have been launched from Iran’s Shahrud Desert.
Iranian satellite “Kayam” was launched on a Soyuz 2.1b carrier rocket from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on August 9, 2022. It is named after Omar Khayyam, an Iranian polymath. Khayyam is his 600-kilogram (1,300-lb) satellite that orbits him 500 kilometers (310 miles) from the surface of the Earth. Its main purpose is to collect information and images from the surface of the Earth at a resolution of he 1 meter (3.3 feet). It is designed to monitor and survey the Earth’s surface for both government and private purposes.
