Iran Launches Six Domestic Satellites into Earth Orbit Annually

Speaking on Friday before the Friday prayer sermon in Isfahan, Vahid Yazdanian stated that the technology for building and launching fully Iranian satellites is advancing rapidly, and the outlook for this trajectory is promising.

According to Rokna, he noted that earlier efforts in the 1990s to build and launch satellites had not been successful, but the determination and efforts of Iranian scientists in the 2000s bore fruit, and the first satellite was successfully launched into space.

Yazdanian explained that the deployed satellites operate primarily to develop communications, directly impacting the quality of life for citizens.

He added that strengthening national security and the economic ecosystem of the country is another significant function of the space industry.

Yazdanian emphasized that leveraging advancements in the space industry is aligned with the strategic objective of improving citizens’ livelihoods, and these efforts continue unabated.

The head of Iran’s Space Research Institute stressed that the purpose of building and launching satellites is to utilize these capabilities to enhance the quality of services provided to the public.

He underlined that sanctions had been a major obstacle in advancing the industry, but Iran has overcome them and achieved self-sufficiency.

In recent years, Iran has achieved multiple milestones in the space sector and is continuously enhancing its position on the global stage.

The primary approach of Iran’s Space Research Institute focuses on developing and expanding research, acquiring the necessary sciences and technologies in the space sector, and supporting the development of infrastructure in universities and research centers.
