Iranian Space program | News and Discussions

we are still due to see the IRGC launch the Qaem-105A SLV by March 20th (possibly a suborbital test launch)
 
strangely, Iranian media is denying that the Simorgh-2 launch took place at all, and is now saying the launch will take place in the coming days ...

appears the launch attempt failed. it is hard for them to abandon Simorgh given the first stage of Simorgh-2 is the same as first stage on planned Sarir. so we are stuck with it for now. clustered Arvand engines from Khorramshahr would be more advanced solution but likely prohibitively expensive.
 
What happened to all the promised launches by New Years?

Welcome back Immortals. You've been gone for while. I pray you're well. Thought you left us 😅 You've been missed! Don't worry, the launches are coming and so it's TP3!
 
Iran knows that US knows that SLVs, atleast the TEL ones, are RV-short-ICBMs in disguise like Qassed and Ghaem so they will not launch them unless deal is made. So far US has made zero hints of any concern for missile program or even enrichment. Just the weaponisation is being discussed.

Can’t wait to hear the next Iranian official talk about the xx amount of satellites they have “ready to launch in the new year”.

There is ZERO check and balance for Mullah approved stupid Iranian authority figures. IRI failed to produce such culture of self-audit long ago when they refused to punish corrupt characters that produced fake projects for funds. IRI instead likes politically aligned sycophants even if they are mediocre.
 
China to launch Chang'e-8 lunar mission around 2029, collaborating with int'l partners, including Iran (to provide lunar potential monitor)

The China National Space Administration (CNSA) revealed Thursday that the Chang'e-8 lunar probe is scheduled for launch around 2029, and will carry payloads from 11 countries and regions and one international organization as part of international cooperation.

The announcement was made at the opening ceremony for 2025 Space Day of China, which is celebrated annually on April 24.

The Chang'e-8 mission will target the Leibnitz-Beta Plateau near the lunar south pole region, working with the earlier Chang'e-7 mission to conduct scientific exploration and in-situ resource utilization experiments. These efforts will lay the groundwork for the future International Lunar Research Station.

According to CNSA, the 10 selected collaborative projects include a multi-functional robot designed by researchers in Hong Kong, a lunar rover developed by Pakistan and the International Society for Terrain-Vehicle Systems (ISTVS), an exploration rover made by Türkiye, and radio astronomical instruments by South Africa and Peru.

The projects also include Italy's laser retroreflector arrays, Russia's plasma and dust analyzer and high-energy particle detector, Thailand's neutron analyzer, Bahrain and Egypt's lunar surface imaging system, and Iran's lunar potential monitor.

Shan Zhongde, head of CNSA, said China will work closely with international partners to achieve new scientific discoveries and technological breakthroughs that will ultimately benefit all of humanity.

CNSA announced in October 2023 international cooperation opportunities for Chang'e-8 lunar mission, which offered 200 kilograms of payload resources for global partners. A total of 41 cooperation proposals were received.

What is a “lunar potential monitor”?
