The head of the Iranian Space Agency (ISA) announces the plan to put three domestically-built satellites into orbit in early winter in line with efforts to upgrade the country's civilian space program.

Iran plans landmark satellite launches this year – Kowsar, Zafar, and Paya – forming a strategic constellation to enhance earth observation, precision agriculture and environmental monitoring.

Hossein Salariyeh has confirmed the reception of the initial telemetry signals from the newly launched Nahid-2 satellite, saying these signals indicate that the satellite is currently intact and operating as expected within its designated orbit.

Nahid-2, Iran’s domestically built satellite launched this week, showcases advanced telecom, propulsion, and control technologies while boosting Tehran-Moscow space cooperation.

The head of the Iranian Space Agency has announced that the second phase of the Chabahar spaceport is to be inaugurated in the current year.

Iranian space program has been steadily progressing, not only with the frequent launch of communications and observation satellites but also through its human spaceflight program.

Iran is going to officially unveil three domestically-developed remote-sensing and communications satellites on the occasion of the National Space Technology Day, which falls on February 2.
