Iranian Ambassador to Moscow Kazem Jalali and Dmitry Bakanov, CEO of the Russian state space corporation Roscosmos, met on Friday to discuss expanding space cooperation, including the joint production of satellites.
The Islamic Republic's embassy in Moscow confirmed the discussions, which covered various collaborative efforts.
According to the embassy, the meeting addressed several aspects of space cooperation between Russia and Iran. These included the development of advanced technologies, the joint design and creation of satellites, and the collaborative construction of space infrastructure. Additionally, discussions covered conducting training courses and knowledge sharing, combating Western sanctions, and supporting joint initiatives in maintaining international peace and stability in space.
This meeting follows recent collaborations in space, such as the early November launch from the Vostochny Cosmodrome. A Soyuz-2.1b rocket carrying the Fregat upper stage deployed 53 small spacecraft into orbit, which included the Iranian Kowsar remote sensing satellite and the Hodhod telecommunications satellite by the private Iranian company Space Omid.
Additionally, the Russian state space corporation Roscosmos has secured 4.5 trillion rubles for a new national project focused on space exploration. This funding was approved by the Russian Ministry of Finance, as announced earlier by Roscosmos Director General Dmitry Bakanov.
