TEHRAN-- Iran is the ninth nation on the planet after the Soviet Union, the United States, France, Japan, China, the United Kingdom, India and the Zionist routine that has actually effectively launched a satellite independently.Since 2005, Iran has actually joined the club of area countries by sending the Sina 1 satellite, which was sent out into orbit with the help of Russia.
Ever since, the Iranian Space Agency has put preparing for using space and the growth of space innovations in the country using local knowledge and global cooperation on the agenda.Then, Iran had the ability to move towards launching satellites in addition to developing and constructing them by developing clinical facilities which were achieved by developing area launch terminals.In addition to the advancement of area launch terminals, the development of satellite providers has likewise been effective in accomplishing the nations cycle of designing and producing native satellites.The Safir satellite provider was developed and integrated in 2008 and the Simorgh satellite carrier was in 2017.
Sarir and Soroush satellite carriers also added to the area innovation of the country.Iran managed to launch a number of satellites with this devices, some of which succeeded and some of which were not successful.Sina-1 was the very first Iranian artificial satellite, gone for 6:52 UTC on October 28, 2005, on board a Cosmos-3M Russian launch car from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome.
Remote noticing, getting, storing and sending telecommunication data were the 2 objectives of this satellite.Iran introduced its first homemade satellite, Omid (Hope), in 2009.
After being released by an Iranian-made carrier rocket, Safir 1, the satellite was put into a low Earth orbit.
Omid was a data-processing satellite for research and telecoms.
The launch, which coincided with the 30th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution was also validated by NASA the following day as a success.
The launch of Omid made Iran the ninth nation to develop an indigenous satellite launch capability.Rasad (Observation) was another Iranian satellite which was introduced in 2011.
The 3rd Iranian satellite, and the second to be introduced successfully using a native rocket, Rasad was Irans first imaging satellite.
Introduced aboard a Safir-B carrier rocket, it was successfully placed into a low Earth orbit at an altitude of 236 by 299 kilometres (147 by 186 mi), inclined at 55.7 degrees.
It made approximately fifteen orbits daily.
The launch took place at around 09:14 UTC on 15 June 2011 with the spacecraft reaching orbit numerous minutes later.The satellite had a mass of 15.3 kilograms (34 pound) and returned images with a resolution of 150 metres (490 feet).
It was equipped with solar panels to create power.
The satellite decomposed from orbit three weeks after launch, on 6 July 2011.Navid (Promise) was a speculative Iranian Earth observation satellite.
As the 3rd satellite introduced indigenously by Iran, it carried an electronic camera for taking higher-resolution imagery of Earth and it was likewise utilized to gather weather condition information and keep track of natural catastrophes.
The launch took place at roughly 00:04 UTC on 3 February 2012.
The satellite stayed in orbit for two months, prior to reentering the atmosphere on 1 April 2012.Fajr (Dawn) satellite was launched on 2 February 2015.
It had a mass of 52 kg and was equipped with an optical imaging payload which would have reached a ground resolution of about 500 metres (1,600 ft).
It was the very first Iranian satellite to utilize a cold-gas thruster system to perform orbital maneuvers and increase its service life by raising its orbit to prevent a fast decay.
Fajr was launched by a Safir-1B rocket from the Iranian Space Agencys launch website in Semnan city.
The satellite was released into a low Earth orbit with a perigee of 224 km, an apogee of 470 km, a disposition of 55.53 °, and an orbital duration of 91.5 minutes.Payam (Message) satellite was introduced on 15 January 2019 with Simorgh satellite provider however according to the statement of then-Minister of Communications and Information Technology Mohammad Javad Azari Jahromi the launch was not successful and the Payam satellite was not put into orbit.
The rocket bring the Payam satellite stopped working to reach the necessary speed in the third stage of its launch.
It was developed and developed by specialists at the Amirkabir University of Technology to perform images and telecommunication missions.
It was aimed to orbit the Earth at an altitude of 500 kilometers to take surveying images at high resolutions.Dousti (Friendship) satellite was the second Iranian satellite which dealt with an unsuccessful launch in 2017.
It was a micro-class 52-kilogram satellite developed by professionals from the Sharif University of Technology.
It was a remote-sensing satellite, which was to orbit the Earth at an altitude of between 250 km and 310 km.
The satellite was launched on a Safir-1B rocket in February 2019, however did not reach orbit.Zafar-1, was an imaging satellite launched in 2012 which didnt achieve the needed speed to reach its orbit.
It dropped into the Indian Ocean after it stopped working to reach orbit.The elite force of Irans Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) effectively introduced the Noor-1 (Light) satellite by the domestically-built launcher Qassed (Messenger) on 22 April 2020 and put it into orbit at an altitude of 425km.
The launch of Noor-1 which is the Islamic Republics very first military satellite was carried out on the anniversary of the establishment of the IRGC.Noor-2, the second and just functional satellite of the Noor class, was introduced on 8 March 2022 to a 500 kilometer orbit.
The mission of the satellite is reconnaissance, and it was placed in orbit after 480 seconds at a speed of 6.7 km/s.
Two Noor satellites have actually been launched from the Shahrud Desert in Iran.The Iranian satellite Khayyam was released on a Soyuz-2.1 b provider rocket from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on 9 August 2022.
It is called after the Iranian polymath Omar Khayyam.
Khayyam is a 600 kilograms (1,300 pound) satellite positioned in an orbit 500 kilometres (310 mi) above the Earths surface area.
Its main function is to gather information and images from the Earths surface with a resolution of 1 metre (3.3 feet).
It is created to keep an eye on and investigate the Earths surface area, both for federal government and civilian purposes.
