(Worthy News) – Iran is preparing to launch a new scientific observation satellite in the “coming days,” the head of the country’s national space agency told AFP on Saturday.
Manufacture of the Zafar (Victory in Farsi) satellite “began three years ago with the participation of 80 Iranian scientists,” said Morteza Berari, without giving a date for the launch.
The 113-kilogram satellite will be launched by a Simorgh rocket 530 kilometers (329 miles) above the Earth, where it will make 15 orbits daily, said Berari. [ Source: Times of Israel (Read More…) ]
