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

You asked me who Bryce Tech is, I gave you the answer: a highly-qualified, very sophisticated institution! Not some no-name social media genius.

Now if you don't agree with what they say, why don't you talk to them directly? Are you not confident enough to talk with real qualified experts, and would rather debate with an internet nobody like me?

stop trolling. this is a forum for discussion and if you present points of view be prepared to discuss them instead of trying to run away. you posted an article suggesting Iran has 31 satellites in orbit. that's not correct. try to engage on the merits rather than troll and try to stifle debate.

this is a good and credible infographic. the article that borrowed from this infographic misrepresented the statements in this source

e.g., 31 total satellites launched (correct) became 31 satellites in orbit (incorrect)

the 23 satellite figure for next year is assuming Iran launches all 20 Shahed Soleimani constellation satellites next year. that seems unrealistic.

image appears to be released by Russia

Iran denied that Russia would have control over the satellite, although some reports suggested it would be used for Ukraine

Was the picture taken by an Iranian Satellite and transferred to russia?

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?.

In reality, we cannot directly monitor or control orbiting artificial satellites at all times. It is affected by numerous factors, including the curvature of the Earth, the Earth's rotation speed, and the speed of artificial satellites.

The usual approach is to set up a large number of ground-based satellite monitoring stations spread across the globe.
Alternatively,
we need to launch a large number of communication relay satellites.

Due to the US pressure on China, many countries around the world do not agree to China setting up satellite monitoring stations within their territories. The construction of China's satellite monitoring station in Argentina was also abruptly halted midway through construction.
China currently mainly uses the "Tianlian" relay communication satellite constellation, large satellite monitoring ships at sea, and a small number of ground-based satellite monitoring stations.

For Iran, the difficulty is even greater.
 

Iran says three satellites to launch from Russia on December 28​


Three Iranian satellites will be launched aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket from the Vostochny Cosmodrome on December 28, Iran’s Nour news agency reported, marking another step in Tehran’s expanding space program.

Nour News, linked to Iran's security establishment, said the satellites will support agriculture, natural resources management and environmental monitoring. Russia last carried an Iranian-made telecommunications satellite into orbit in July.

The announcement follows comments last month by Hassan Salarieh, head of the Iranian Space Agency, who said Iran is preparing to launch three Earth-observation satellites — Zafar-2, Paya and a new batch of Kosar imaging satellites — and conduct its first test launch from the new Chabahar Space Center.

Salarieh said Iran had advanced to developing satellites with imaging resolutions of one meter and below, and described Chabahar, a coastal site in the southeast, as an emerging launch hub able to support heavier liquid-fuel rockets.

He said the center would eventually serve as Iran’s main space gateway, with a position suited for placing satellites into sun-synchronous and geostationary orbits. Iran has also signed private-sector contracts for satellite constellations and highlighted recent launches aboard Russian rockets.
 
With all of that Western help. LMAF.
Their vehicles have serious reliability issues. The engines are poorly designed, tend to develop excessive sludge, experience premature bearing wear, and often require complete engine rebuilds.
Iranian-built blocks, cranks, and pistons are of high quality, but we can not market them, and most markets are closed to Iranian manufacturers.

Truth...most people don't know Hyundai and Kia have common engines....there were a few years that certain engine families (2011-2019)across both brands have catastrophic engine failures. I believe the new cars are now ok......

you're comparing a SLV with capacity to place 16,500kg into LEO and 4,000kg to SSO which has had 5/7 successful launches (71%) to Iranian SLVs which at best can place 200kg into LEO with a 10-20% success rate (Simorgh)? Japan was the fourth nation in history to place satellites into orbit, almost 40 years before Iran did the same

there is no comparison here
