TEHRAN (FNA)- A new satellite launch center whose construction will finish in the near future has been named after the Late Founder of the Islamic Republic, Imam Khomeini, Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi announced on Saturday.


Vahidi said that 80% of the construction of Imam Khomeini Space Center has been completed.

Vahidi added that the base will send a new generation of home-made satellites as well as the satellites made by the regional and Muslim countries into orbit in the near future.

"In a first move" Vahidi stated "the Imam Khomeini Space Center will send Tolou (Dawn) satellite into orbit on the back of Simorgh satellite carrier."

Senior Iranian space officials had earlier announced construction of a national center for satellite launch.

The Islamic republic, which first put a satellite into orbit in 2009, has outlined an ambitious space program and has, thus far, made giant progress in the field despite western sanctions and pressures against its advancements.
