Iranian Space program | News and Discussions

What brilliant solution. Who knew it was that easy. You are talking about the world intelligence agencies of MI6/CIA plus Mossad. The same intelligence agencies that managed to infiltrate Hitler’s inner military circle and plant a briefcase bomb at an critical military intelligence meeting in Hitler’s version of Camp David. You are talking about a group that managed to have Soviet Union Generals among their spies. Compare that to Iran whose intelligence agencies have existed for less than half century and is riddled with competing factions vying for power. Add to the fact we have 3+ competing intelligence (Artesh Itnelligence, IRGC intelligence, and MOI) and its cluster**** of everyone accusing everyone of being a spy.

so you have no proof just make a baseless acusation

They managed to place a bomb inside a table into Natanz’s centrifuge parts workshop and also bomb the underground enrichment center using a scientist. Assassinate fakhrizadeh in broad daylight using an satcom equipped turret while being guarded by Iran’s IRGC elite protection squad. They managed to turn Alireza Akbari into a spy. I could go on for days, you are smart you can read the news.

But the ISA is the impenetrable fortress. All the accidents, mishaps, and deaths were all simply coincidental.

fakhrizadeh was irgc .
the bomb was inside a tool imported
which scientist put bomb inside the enrichment facility , the sabotage was inside power delivery section and i still can't get why a technician put a bomb inside an irgc controlled facility made iran space agency a spy den
alireza akbari again a senior IRGC offical turned politician

all your example point at irgc filled with spies and here you point your finger somewhere else
it means in balkh an smith commit a crime for punishment in Shoosh-Tar the decapitate a copper worker
 
Excellent discussion on recent launch and future of space program. This content is dense so needs a lot of review. Some items hat struck me:

- 750km orbit is chosen since it will be the orbit of the Soleimani Constellation
- Soraya launch is 5x more powerful than Noor (1?)
- Key ISA will become an aggregator. Private companies will implement (not unlike NASA)
- both solid and liquid launches are envisioned
- Q105 will see test launch next year (!)
- GPS implementation is world class and top notch tech

I’ll post some references in next posts.

Soleimani constellation?

Qaem-105 first test launch in 1403 is old news, should be in early 1403 btw (i.e. March-June)

we need to know more about satellite imaging resolution projects, I recall many years ago reading about two projects: one to establish 2m resolution and one for 1m resolution. I don't remember the dates for each unfortunately... but I think something like 1404 for 2m and 1406-1408 for 1m

constellation of sub 1m resolution satellites that enables c. 2-3 hour update imagery of any point on earth with military utility imagery is worthy of being called Soleimani, current plans are not. Maxar and China already have this capability with 20kg class satellites having 0.2-0.5m resolution, this should be the IRGC's goal by 2030 (realistic timeline, unlike ISA sending Iranian astronaut to space this century)

then Iranian GPS/Glonass/Beidou by 2035 should be the next goal. that's only 11 years from now but very feasible.

updates for next 3 Khayyam satellites would also be nice. they are currently the most useful satellites Iran has in orbit by far
 
It does not look like a space program but a missile program to develop ICBM. No one keeps launching useless 50-100kg satellites for decades and have pointed tips for space programs.

Yes? That's the correct path to take for any new space program. Sits on the shoulders of military applications until it peels off (yet still tethered). The has been the process from the very start of the space age. The truck launchers are the give away--much more difficult than simple launch stands. Good for us!

Other countries like India, China, USA, USSR did not take this path. They first perfected SLVs and then improved upon them to develop missiles.

SLVs don't need high accuracy and hence are the first step. A satellite launched to 500km orbit & one launched to 550km orbit will both work reasonably well. Then the SLVs are further improved to develop missiles by making them more accurate. So, by developing SLVs first, countries get the technology to deploy satellites along with the technology to launch missiles later on. Iran by directly going for missiles is missing out on the satellite launch capability. Also, it will be easier to benchmark the development by keeping progressively higher accuracy targets

Other countries are not Iran. Especially India which is punching way way below its weight with a billion hungry people. Iran is special, active, successful and with far outsized effect.

Comparison with ‘other countries’ is the very example of self-doubt and weakness.

do you want me post a certain section of the movie "Dictator" by sasha Baron Kohen
for gods sake what the being pointy or not pointy have to do with missile
