The Iranian Army’s Fakhr-1 satellite, with a total weight of 300kg, has set a new record for the country in lifting payloads. This achievement was reported by the public relations office of the Army on Friday. After being successfully placed into orbit, Fakhr-1 transmitted its first signal back to the ground.
The Simorgh carrier, Iran’s advanced satellite carrier, was responsible for launching Fakhr-1 and the Saman-1 orbital transfer block. This carrier is utilized for transferring satellites to high altitude orbits, showcasing Iran’s advancements in space technology.
In early November, Iran launched two domestically-made satellites and successfully received signals from them, confirming their perfect orbit. This further demonstrates Iran’s capabilities in space exploration and satellite technology.
The launch of Fakhr-1 highlights Iran’s growing presence in the space sector and its ability to set new records in lifting payloads. This achievement signifies a significant milestone for the country’s space program and showcases its advancements in satellite technology.
