The Iran is all set to launch three satellites to space abroad Russia’s Soyuz launcher from the Vostochny Cosmodrome on 28th December. The Iranian new company Nour News agency which is linked to Iran’s security establishment claimed that these satellites will support agriculture, natural resources management and environmental monitoring. Prior to this Russia launched the Iranian telecommunication satellite in July.
The head of Iranian Space Agency Hassan Salarieh said last month that Iran is preparing to launch three earth observation satellites – Zafar-2, Paya and new batch of Kosar imaging satellites.
Hassan Salarieh stated that Iran had advanced to developing satellites with imaging resolutions of one meter and below, and described Chabahar, the coastal site in the southeast, as a developing launch hub which will be able to support heavier liquid-fuel rockets.
The Islamic Republic of Iran says that its space program is civilian and scientific. However, the western countries have argued that technologies that Iran is using for satellite launched can support long range missile development. President Masoud Pezeshkian has said Iran’s missile and space capabilities boosting national development.
