Their has been tremendous progress for sure, but we are not quite there yet and I think his estimate is reasonable. We have alot of way to go on this. The Noor satellite was a good start, but our good friend
@Draco.IMF is correct. The speed of progress is slow and weight is low.
Although, I must say, I'd rather see smaller, lighter satellites but dozens of them in a large network. Considering Iran has advanced enemies, large and heavy satellites in small numbers will be a self-created mistake, and it would be better to operate a more resilient network of lighter and smaller satellites that can be launched quickly and replaced quickly. Let's get ahead of the problem.
Iran needs to develop itself faster in space, much much faster and construct a space based network of small satellites, looking at the current focus of the Raisi administration, I was quite glad to see a heavy focus on the space sector. I look forward to these developments.
I am optimistic we will see much more progress in this sector than ever before during this new Admin. They seem to understand the importance unlike the previous admin.
I hope you guys are excited to see unveilings of the Bavar-375 soon! Probably next week.
