Iran has joined the exclusive club of just nine countries capable of independently designing, manufacturing, and launching satellites into orbit.
The development marks a huge milestone in the country’s space program.
Achieving this requires mastering rocket propulsion, guidance systems, and orbital mechanics — skills which only a handful of nations possess.
The satellite will be used for communications, weather monitoring, and scientific research, officials said.
Beyond technology, this development signals Iran’s ambition to compete in the rapidly growing global space economy.
