Iran Among Top 10 Countries With Full Satellite Manufacturing And Launch Capabilities - Iran Front Page

Iran has joined the club of approximately ten countries worldwide that possess full capabilities to design, build, and launch satellites.

I mean kind of, not many countries can launch satellites so top ten is like a participation trophy. Iran can only do small satellites and the SLVs are not overly reliable.

"Analysts and researchers from Bryce Tech" who is Bryce Tech?

"Bryce says that Iran already has 31 satellites in low Earth Orbit" 31? I wonder if he can name them.

"has four active launch rockets at its disposal (Simorgh, Zuljanah, Qased, Qaem 100)" Zoljanah is hardly active when it has never placed a satellite into orbit.

nonsense article full of inaccuracies. if Iran launches 23 satellites into orbit this year I'll apologise but the most we launched in a year so far is 5 IIRC so don't get your hopes up.

Maybe someone it is interested in exaggerate iranian military achievements to collect more money, and you know who are behind those.

If it is indeed so that Iran lost contact with both Kowsar and HODHOD - the last reportedly after an ...unexpected external command, not from their own control system, 2 weeks before the 12-day war... Then obviously given the timing, what are the chances that *both* of these satellites would stop functioning at the same time?

The 'unexpected external command' appears to be the kicker' - coming from one or both of Iran's two principal antagonists, which has substantial now-how and experience of such things.

So why still launch more satellites that would probably be similarly disabled? Clearly there is a COMSEC problem here.

Maybe Russia, or perhaps even China, could render some assistance in this regard. Iran is not yet in a position to deny the US and/or Israel on its own.

I will later address Iran's huge OTH and AEW radar. Why rebuild - and one Rampage later- the rebuilding efforts are (also) reduced to rubble?.

The article is confusing, the original source from Bryce Tech makes it more clear:

or I can discuss it here in the forum which is the purpose of the forum.

can you name the 31 satellites Iran currently has in orbit according to your post?

Safir - 4 satellites placed into orbit (none remain in orbit)

Simorgh - 5 satellites placed into orbit

Zoljanah - 0 satellites placed into orbit

Qased - 3 satellites placed into orbit (2 remain in orbit)

Qaem-100 - 2 satellites placed into orbit (2 remain in orbit)

by my count, Iran has placed a total of 14 satellites into orbit, not 31.

Russia has placed at least 5 Iranian satellites into orbit (Khayyam-1, Kowsar, Hodhod, Nahid-2, Pars-1). Even if you include these, I don't think you can get to 31.

Honestly since I can’t see the article anymore but the original source includes many failed launches of satellites it added up to 31 like the guy said was busy but I don’t think he was personally being deceptive

so 31 satellites in orbit now includes failed launches ?

it's not about being busy, it's about facts
