The Iranian Space Organization (ISA) has announced the commencement of the production process for its “Pars-3” satellite, which is hailed as the country’s most modern and accurate satellite.

Head of the organization, Hassan Salarieh, shared this information, expressing his pride in the significant step taken by the ISA in designing and producing indigenous remote sensing satellites with high accuracy.

Salarieh mentioned that the production procedures of “Pars-2” and “Pars-3” have officially started. These satellites are known for their imaging precision of four and two meters, respectively.

Iran has established itself as one of the top 10 countries worldwide capable of manufacturing and launching satellites.

The country’s satellite journey began with the launch of Omid (Hope) in 2009, followed by its Rasad (Observation) satellite in 2011. In 2012, Iran successfully placed its third domestically-made satellite, Navid (Good News), into orbit.

April 2020 marked the successful launch of Iran’s first military satellite into orbit, and in March 2022, its second military satellite was sent into space.

Furthermore, in August of the previous year, Iran launched Khayyam, a high-resolution imaging satellite, from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.

In February, Iran unveiled two indigenous telecommunications and imaging satellites, Nahid-2 (Venus-2) and Tolou-3 (Sunrise-3), during a ceremony held in Tehran on Iran’s National Space Technology Day.
