Iran's Zafar Satellites

[Kiarash]

Iran's Minister of Information and Communications Technology tweets: good snowy morning, by the effort of our young scholars Zafar 1 and Zafar 2 satellites have passed their tests successfully and will be sent to the space center to be put in orbit today. This satellite and satellite carrier and both two important research steps. Hoping for success.

Iran's space industry has lost almost 7 years of proper activity in the current administration of Rouhani. The lack of launches etc is simply disgraceful . This is exactly what happened what you allow a critically important technology to become a puppet of the politicians and their politics. It's clear to me that during this current administration, the space activities will not be able to take off properly, pun intended. The real question to me is this. Why is the supreme leader of Iran allowing this to happen to Iran's space industry? Why did he not intervene to insulate the space program from politics?

if you have 10 of them releasing all steelballs it would be a disaster for all nations.. simply forget the space than

Theres just one problem....you need a functioning space program in order to successfully launch satellites.
What iran has these days is a gutted space program that pretty exists in name only,and it will likely require quite a bit of both time and money to get it back to at least where it was in 2015.

Godspeed to Iran. Just remember one thing, regardless of what happens, there is no true "failure" in these endeavors. Only the opportunity to learn more.

NO! If Iran's communication minister is picking this time to announce the successful testing of the ARASH post boost engine then I would have to say I'm officially worried about the Zafar Sat!
