Obviously this is beyond your paygrade.I just read all this thread. I might've missed it but where's the cutting edge technology ?? lol
Obviously.. so show me the cutting edge technology anyways?? Why's it so hard?Obviously this is beyond your paygrade.
It is ok my dear...you should not lurk around threads you do not understand....stick to things your education allows.Obviously.. so show me the cutting edge technology anyways?? Why's it so hard?
How much paygrade to I need to see this amazing cutting edge technology
Thanks @SalarHaqq my friend for this update ..I am very glad it is officially operational... I initially reported this on Page 2 and page 3 of this thread and now 6 months later it is up and running doing research...can not be happier..lolIran's world class national telescope was inaugurated some three weeks ago. All components of the telescope except for the mirrors are domestically produced.
It is considered among the top five in the world as far as the size of the mirror and quality of pictures it can take are concerned.

Iranian National Observatory inaugurated
June 28, 2021 - 17:3
TEHRAN – The Iranian National Observatory (INO), which is said to kick off a big movement in the area of astronomy in the country, was inaugurated near the city of Kashan, central Isfahan province, on Monday.
The project places Iran among the ten countries in the world capable of manufacturing observatories, ISNA reported.
INO has been built on Gargash peak at an altitude of 3600m above sea level.
The main activities of the national observatory include designing, construction, monitoring, and operating the 3.4-meter INO340 telescope, its instruments, and infrastructures. The range of instruments initially planned for the telescope includes a wave-front sensor, auto-guider, imaging CCDs, and a high-resolution spectrograph.
The INO340 telescope is a Ritchey-Chrétien f/11 which provides unvignetted 20 arcmin field of view at the main Cassegrain focus. In addition, 3 bent focuses are also provided each with a field of view of 8 arcmins. The primary mirror is meniscus shaped and the secondary mirror is convex and together they form a well-corrected focus.
The main mirror (M1) is a single-segment fast f/1.5 mirror with a diameter of 3.4m, which makes IN340 one of the most compact telescopes of this size. M1 is a meniscus shape 18 cm thick made of a Zerudor ceramic with a 700mm central hole. The M1 is supported by 60 actuators that are actively or passively controlled to keep the mirror shape undistorted under its own gravity at different points.
INO is a national project and has been envisioned to become an international scientific platform for astronomy in the future. Therefore, educating the general public and especially the younger generation about the basics of astronomy is another important step ahead of the INO project.
An important focus of these activities is the residents close to the area around the INO site whose lifestyles can directly affect the workflow of the INO observatory. So far, about 1,400 students from 22 schools in towns and villages close to the Gargash site have been educated about the basics of astronomy and the effects of light pollution on the INO observatory. Furthermore, the project is using social media to engage the general public with the project.

Rouhani Inaugurates Iran’s Biggest Observatory
TEHRAN (FNA)- The Iranian National Observatory, the biggest in the country, was inaugurated and put into operation near Kashan city in Central Iran in a ceremony participated virtually by outgoing President Hassan Rouhani and Vice-President for Science and Technology Sorena Sattari.
The observatory has been built at a height of 3,600 meters on Mountain Gargash in Kashan.
The observatory's 90-ton telescope has 40,000 pieces, all designed and built indigenously. It enjoys a high-quality mirror and imaging site and is one of the top sites in the world.
Addressing the ceremony, Rouhani said that Iran now stands among the countries with big observatories which can extend studies of the Iranian scientists in a big world.
Also, Manager of the project of the Iranian National Observatory Habib Khosroshahi said that the observatory is the first major scientific project in the country that has been approved by experienced scientific consultants in the world.
“Making hydrostatic bearings for telescope suspension, designing and manufacturing an active optical system and testing multi-meter optical surfaces with multi-nanometer smooth surface surfaces are among the new technologies used in this observatory,” he added.
Khosroshahi explained that the important technical achievement of this project is the engineering of opto-megatronic systems, meaning the combination of optics, mechanics, hardware and control software inside a 90-ton structure in large dimensions with a 4-ton mirror.
"With the help of this telescope, massive galaxies can be observed at a distance of 66,000 billion billion kilometers. More than 100,000 electronic, mechanical and optical parts have been used to build this observatory, and I am proud to announce that the Iranian National Observatory has been made in Iran,” he said.
Iranian National Observatory (INO) was built by Iranian engineers and scientists. By inauguration of the project, Iran now stands among the top 10 producers of telescope in the world.
Rouhani virtually inaugurated five national knowledge-based projects on Monday.
National Observatory of Kashan Institute of Basic Sciences, Tehran University development plan for electric bus, and the permanent exhibition of exports of knowledge-based products in Tehran Permanent Fairground were inaugurated in Tehran, Isfahan and Kermanshah provinces.
Innovative houses in Kashan, Isfahan, and Tehran; and science and technology park innovation factory in Kermanshah were opened upon president Rouhani's order.

do as he said - leave the thread and stop trolling.Close this thread it will be for the best, trust me. Or least change the title to "Stuff the world already makes and does and we're only catching up after decades".
Bye now
Nope, Saudi is not a leader in Sunni Muslim, but yes it has respectable position among us. If Saudi has huge influence among Sunni Muslim so why many Sunni Muslims like Indonesia has good relation with Iran ???
Indonesia as one country has the population comparable with whole Arab countries combined, not to mention Pakistan, Bangladesh, Turkey, Afganistan, Central Asian countries, Malaysia
