Iran launched three small satellite (a mini and two cube sats) yesterday to test and verify the newly modified carrier "Simorgh" and also the multiple satellite release mechanism . . This was a test run for eventual construction of Iranian Version of GPS called "Solaimani" constellation that will require many smaller satellites launched at the same time .

I open this new thread with a wonderful news...Iranian civilian space program is back on its feet with a test.
Iran's latest "Habitation Capsule" weighing 500 kg was test launched to low earth orbit (130 km) today. The SLV that launched the capsule payload is SALMAN...Appears to be the first test for both systems ....more later.


This was a test for space technologies in the areas of launch, recovery and speed control systems, impact shield, capsule aerodynamic design and parachute and as well as the systems related to control and monitoring of biological conditions.

• Parse -2 will have resolution of 8 meters color and 4 meters black and white
• Pars-3 will have resolution of 5 meters color and 2 meters black and white.
• NAHID-3 is communication Satellite for low orbits
• SAR Satellite has entered design phase
• Test Labs for 500 and 1000 kg objects are now under construction
• Solaimani constellation meant for "Internet of things" is a narrow band system and is now in the design phase.
• Private sector Sats (PAZOHESH-1,2 3,4) in the process of definition and contracts,

On the SLV subject :

• current Iranian year 1402 is the year we stabilize operations of Simorgh and zoljaneh SLV
• SARIR SLV design almost done and entering build phase.
• Will use foreign SLV for Iranian payloads currently in a long Q.
