Iran is preparing to showcase its latest satellite advancements on February 3, marking the country’s National Space Technology Day. Some new satellites, including Paya, Zafar-2, and Pars 1 & 2, will be officially revealed within the celebration.
The head of the Iranian Space Agency (ISA) has announced that two Iran-made satellites will be launched into space by the end of March 2025, which is “significant milestone.” Moreover, Iran aims to complete construction of the Chabahar spaceport in the southeast of the country this year as well.
Hassan Salarieh told Iranian television that eight satellites were ready for launch, while 25 other satellites of various types were being developed within the national space program.
He said that “significant improvements” were made in national satellites’ development and now a quality of satellite imagery is much better.
“We are currently developing satellites with medium resolution, about two-meter resolution per pixel, but we work on enhancing spatial resolution,” - Salarieh stated.
Iranian Space Agency has expanded application of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in satellite operations, particular in processing and analysing satellite imagery.
“AI-powered assistants help our specialists to make significant improvement in increasing a quality of satellite imagery and get more valuable insights from space-based observations,” he said.
Salariyeh referred to the localization of the space industry as a path toward technological independence and stated that, due to sanctions, this industry has been based on domestic development from the beginning. Currently, numerous private companies and research centers are active in this field.
