What's new

Zoljanah solid propellant space launcher

What a nonsense, as this version of 0.9 meter diameter is already so potent that it could well be used in the Iranian first Kinetic Kill Vehicle ASAT weapon complex version!

More massive is not better but a handicap. When stealth and mobility under wartime condition are paramount to survival.

Sejjil has a 22.5 tonnes with 18.2 meters long and 1.25 meter diameter.

Can not compare with the 7 tonnes 13 meters long 0.9 meter diameter Zoljana.

If it can't be off-road then what the purpose?


Specification of the Sardar Shahid Hajj Qasem Soleimani MRBM


۰۱ شهریور ۱۳۹۹ - ۰:۰۳


• Length: 11 meters

• Diameter: about 85 to 95 centimeters

• Length to diameter ratio (Slenderness ratio): about 11.6 to 12.4

• Mass: about 7 tons

• Payload: 500 kg warhead

• Atmospheric reentry speed: Mach 12

• Impact speed: Mach 5

• Range: 1400 km

• Extanded Range: can be increased to 1700 to 1800 kilometers

• Stabilizing planar fins: 8 fixed

• Control fins in the warhead: 4


Preliminary calculations show that the rocket's velocity in the outer atmosphere could make it viable for anti-satellite missions up to orbit below 600 kilometers in the future.





The need to add aerodynamic control fins in the detachable warhead of the ballistic missile version, is presumed to be replaced in the Zoljanah satellite carrier version by a block of either liquid or solid propellant Roll and Attitude Control System (RACS), placed on top of the Shahid Hajj Qasem Soleimani MRBM solid propellant motor section.


The Zoljanah is presumed to be made of 3 solid propellant stages as following:

• First stage: Sardar Shahid Hajj Qasem Soleimani MRBM
• Second stage: Salman-1 TVC, 300 kg
• Third stage: Arash-24, 100 kg
• Payload: 50 kg
Total: 7 tons

Are you trying to claim that the Iranian Qaem missile (and its stages) and Tir/Mehr are derived from the Pukguksong missiles? I am going to give you the benefit of the doubt and say I am just misunderstanding your above table because I doubt anyone could be that deluded.

Absolutely.

There is no point arguing. Now for the healing of your deep delusion, here the detailed reasoning:

The only official picture published by Iran of the Qaem SLV clearly indicates that it is using metal casing, and fixed nozzle that would include 4 additional graphite jet vanes for the steering:

2. Picture released on 14th November 2019 of an Iranian solid propellant rocket stage. Close up.

We all remember the old Hwasong-13 ICBM paraded in North Korea back in 2012. And of its further iteration the Hwasong-13 Mark II.

They never materialized, neither in the DPRK nor in Iran, because the successful Hwasong-12, Hwasong-14 and Hwasong-15 ICBM engines (based on the Russian RD-250) simply made the Hwasong-10 engine obsolete.

The Hwasong-10 (aka Khorramshahr) engine being used in a fixed dual configuration in the Hwasong-13, with 4 verniers, versus only 2 gimballed chambers in the Hwasong-15, thus sealing the fate of this obsolete ICBM.

Same goes for the Qaem. It is a decade old design, with metal casing, today absolutely made obsolete with the advent of the Pukguksong-class solid motor: better and lighter composite casing, improved grain and soon to be revealed with flexi-nozzle technology.

3. Pukguksong-class solid motor: better and lighter composite casing.

Because the initial testing of the Qaem rocket scheduled for 2011 has been delayed for a decade, this series of motor are today no longer relevant.

The future is what we see today in the Pukguksong series.

Absolutely.

There is no point arguing. Now for the healing of your deep delusion,

You obviously have an altered sense of reality, Iran has been producing solid fuelled systems for decades, this notions that a technologically backward North Korea would be giving solid fuel technology to Iran and not the other way around is not just non-chronological, but also overall delusory. Next you'll be claiming the North Koreans are giving the Russians missile technology.


The only official picture published by Iran of the Qaem SLV clearly indicates that it is using metal casing, and fixed nozzle that would include 4 additional graphite jet vanes for the steering:

We all remember the old Hwasong-13 ICBM paraded in North Korea back in 2012. And of its further iteration the Hwasong-13 Mark II.

Me: Are you saying Iran's solid fulled systems which predate North Korean systems are based on future North Korean systems?
This guy: Here are a random bunch of liquid fuelled missiles.

Same goes for the Qaem. It is a decade old design, with metal casing, today absolutely made obsolete with the advent of the Pukguksong-class solid motor: better and lighter composite casing, improved grain and soon to be revealed with flexi-nozzle technology.

Because the initial testing of the Qaem rocket scheduled for 2011 has been delayed for a decade, this series of motor are today no longer relevant.

You are proving my own point and not even realising it. Indeed those pictures of Qaem are from more than a decade ago, Iran's solid fuel technology is much more advanced today. North Korea is a new comer to his arena and it is certainly being helped by the likes of Iran and China. North Korea is too poor and technologically backward to achieve such technologies by itself.

"Some experts also suspect that North Korea’s accelerated development of solid fuel rockets is connected to Iran’s missile program"

Iran launches satellite carrier with solid fuel engine

Feb 1, 2021, 8:57 PM

TEHRAN, Feb. 01 (MNA) – Iran has successfully launched the Zol-Jannah combined satellite carrier which is equipped with the most powerful solid-fuel engine in the country.

The spokesman of the space division of the Ministry of Defense said on Monday that Iran has launched the Zol-Jannah three-staged satellite carrier which is equipped with a solid-fuel engine.

He went on to say that the satellite carrier has two stages of solid propulsion and one stage with liquid propulsion, adding that it is capable of carrying satellites weighing up to 220 kg in a 500 km orbit.

The spokesperson underlined that the satellite carrier is equipped with the most powerful solid-fuel engine in the country with a thrust of more than 75 tons which is one of the most important achievements of this space experiment.

According to Hosseini, the satellite carrier can be used on moving platforms and is designed to reduce costs, noting that it will be able to put operational satellites in orbit after research tests are conducted.

Details of successful test of the most powerful solid fuel engine in the country

The Zoljanah launch successfully conducted was the first test launch and reached an altitude of 15 km.

This Iranian rocket is equipped with the most powerful solid fuel motor made in Iran.

According to the Mehr Defense and Security Service, the Islamic Republic of Iran, as one of the 10 countries in the world with the indigenous ability to launch satellites into orbit, introduced itself as a spacefaring power about ten years ago.

After several successful launches by Safir-1 SLV, a newer and heavier Iranian launcher called Simorgh was introduced, which, due to technical reasons, did not succeed.

The Iranian difficulties ended in April 2020 with the successful and surprise launch of the Noor-1 satellite by a Qased SLV from the central desert of Iran at an orbital altitude of 425 km.

With the arrival of 22 Bahman, for the first time images have been published of the recent test of the new generation of Iranian launcher called Zolnajah.

According to these explanations, this Iranian launcher Zoljanah is in fact a three-stage rocket, the first two stages of which use solid fuel and the last stage of which uses liquid fuel.

At this stage, the rocket engine burn time of the first stage was 70 seconds and was able to reach an altitude of 15 km.

Payload capacity

The trust of the first and second stages of this rocket which are solid fuels, is 74 tons each, which can reach 100 tons.

The diameter of the first and second stage solid-fuel motors of Zoljanah SLV which are the most powerful solid fuel propellants in the whole country so far, is 1.5 meters and the diameter of the third stage is 1.25 meters.

The full length of this rocket is 25.5 meters and its weight is 52 tons and it can put a satellite weighing 220 kg or multiple-satellites with a total weight of 220 kg to an orbit of 500 km.

For comparison, it is not bad to know that the Safir-1 launcher, as the first generation of Iranian launchers had a diameter of about 1.25 meters and a total weight of 26 tons, and could finally place a 50 kg satellite into a 450 km orbit.

Liquid engine for higher accuracy

The second example to better understand the power of this launcher is that Zoljanah with its three complete stages can send about 10 satellites of the size of the Noor-1 sent into space in April 2020 by the IRGC's Qased SLV.

In the recent test, which was performed only with the first solid fuel stage, a series of sensors necessary to perform the necessary calculations to estimate the performance of the rocket systems were installed in the first stage of this launcher.

One of the questions that arises here is why solid fuel was not used in the third stage of this launcher?

The answer to this question is that for the third stage of the launcher, especially in the new space missions of our country, where the orbital motion and injection are required to be ever more accurate, it is necessary that the burning time or the operation of the engine be longer and in some cases, the propulsion system need to be cut-off then restarted.

Aimed to place satellite to Sun Synchronous Orbit (SSO)

One of the important points about this new Iranian rocket is that it is launched on a mobile launcher, which means that its launch site is no longer limited to a specific point (for example, Semnan province as one of the main space launch bases in the country).

And could launch from other parts of the country, especially the southeastern region and the coast of Makran.

It has been announced that studies have begun to build the country's second space launch base in Chabahar, but this is clearly a time-consuming and expensive matter.

At the same time, having a mobile launcher for space launcher can enable our country to conduct space launch from region like Chabahar with the least possible infrastructure.

In the program broadcasted by the 4 Sima network, the possibility of launching from the coast and also reaching the Sun Synchronous Orbit with the Zoljanah SLV was mentioned.

First, let's have a definition of the Sun's orbit.

This orbit is usually suitable for photography, meteorology and remote sensing satellites. The usual altitude for SSO is between 600 and 800 km.

Another important issue is the strategic importance of Chabahar region for this launch and reaching this orbit. Chabahar is the closest point of the mainland of Iran to the equator, and due to the location of different ground orbits, the closer a space launch point is to the equator, the shorter the distance to reach the different orbits and the easier injection in less time.

If you look closely at the location of some of the world's space bases, such as the US space base in Florida or the French space base in the Caribbean, you will see that the launch sites are as close to the equator as possible.

It's interesting that with the Zoljanah and the first Qased, the Iranians had two suborbital launches that must have been detected by the West but were not reported at all.

After the latest suborbital test-launch, we have enough elements to reconstruct the full bigger picture. Various types of military ballistic missiles and derived civilian SLVs to suit all needs.

It's too late for an apology. :hitwall:

Obviously less than 1.25 meter in diameter of the Safir-1, and smaller than the Sejjil's 1.25 meter.

You seriously need to stop polluting this section with your drivel. The Zoljanah has a 1.5 meter first stage as confirmed by Iran.

Specs of Zoljanah
Height: 25.5m
Mass: 52 tons
1st and 2nd stage diameter: 1.5m
3rd stage diameter: 1.25m
Thrust of solid fuel "motors": 74,000 kgF

So , someone just answer this , Can we target London and Paris or not !?
 
. .
Yes, and with ease.
Ok , they were talking about portable launcher , so , from now on , we will hear less from USA client states in europe ...

no europeans have to force USA to continue the JCPOA , or else with our next steps , their population will stay in permanent fear of nuclear strike from Iran ...

Source is from the same Iranian genius that claimed the Zoljanah being able to hit London and Paris!

I almost saw it coming:

1,25m dia. first stage ➡️ likely using flexnozzle TVC

1m dia. second stage ➡️ likely elongated Salman stage

3rd stage ? ➡️ probably a liquid propellant satellite bus to allow re-ignition of thrusters

The short length indicates high booster performance.

Now what if the shown Zoljanah SLV, with its temperature sensitive liquid propellant upper stage, is transformed to a ICBM?

Rightwards arrow
Here the performance is sufficient for a ICBM if operational constrains are neglected: 720kg payload @ 10.000km

But still, IRGC-ASF would not go for it

Zoljanah solid propellant space launcher

After the recent days disclosure of the new liquid propellant Sarir and Soroush space launchers, today the first to be annnounced of the Iranian new solid propellant family of SLV.

Named after the horse Zoljanah (ذو الجناح) the horse of Husayn ibn Ali (PBUH).

This one is nothing compared to the previous solid fuel engines that used graphite jet vanes, as it will use composite TVC.

The first solid propellant orbital launcher to fly and by June 2020. If this works, it would be the first rapid reaction launcher for Iran.

Tir, Mehr and Qaem were the three other known launchers announced previously but never seen.

Payload capacity is at least in the range of the Safir-1 SLV now seemingly retired, at some 50 kg to 250 km LEO.

Might be launched from the same launchpad previously used by the Safir-1 at Imam Khomeini SLC. Or from anywhere if mounted on a TEL transporter.

In this case this would give Iran a real advantage during a conflict, for replacing quickly lost space assets, while even been able to strike at enemy's orbital space asset.

Further evolution could see the replacement of the satellite with an ASAT weapon system such as co-orbital mine. Or even Kinetic Kill Vehicles.


Nahid-1 satellite expected in space in June


9 February 2020 - 13:44


TEHRAN, Feb. 09 (MNA) – The domestically-developed Nahid-1 satellite is expected to be launched into space sometime in June this year, according to a report.


The Nahid-1 telecommunication satellite will be launched into space by ‘Zoljanah’ launcher, using solid fuel.


The domestically-developed satellite will orbit 250 kilometers above the earth, and it could stay in the space for a maximum of two and a half years, according to ICT minister Azari Jahromi.


The launch vehicle ‘Zoljanah’ has been already designed, while the satellite itself has finished construction. It is expected to be put into orbit sometime this June, according to the report.


The Iranian Space Agency has plans to launch a number of other satellites including Pars-1, Pars-2, Zafar-2 and Nahid-2. They will orbit 500 kilometers above the earth.


Meanwhile, Zafar, a 90-kilogram remote-sensing satellite equipped with color cameras, is said to be launched into space on Sunday evening.

IRGC Unveils New Missile with Composite Engine (+Video)


February, 09, 2020 - 14:36


TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) on Sunday unveiled a new missile with a composite engine as well as the new generation of engines for propelling missiles and satellite carriers.


The employment of two technologies, namely the composite engine shield and the moving nozzle, have allowed for the use of solid propellant engines outside the atmosphere.


The new achievement enables Iran to manufacture light satellite carriers with solid propellant,
