Iran to Send New Home-Made Satellites into Space[/size:4a1eb90d12]

TEHRAN (FNA)- Iran plans to send two new home-made satellites and a bio-capsule of living creatures into space on the back of a new home-made satellite carrier in the next few months, a senior Iranian space official said.   

Head of Iran Space Agency (ISA) Hamid Fazeli said on Thursday that the Iranian bio-capsule will take a live creature into orbit by early September.

He also said that 'Fajr' (Dawn) satellite will blast into space by the end of summer and finally the student-made 'Navid Elm-o-Sanat' (Hope for Science and Technology) will be launched into orbit as early as February 2012.

Fazeli hailed the surge in Iran's space activities, adding that such breakthroughs have only been made possible by local expertise and endeavors.[/size:4a1eb90d12][/quote:4a1eb90d12]

Iran to launch satellite into space by mid March

ISNA - Tehran

TEHRAN (ISNA)-Iranian "Fajr" (Dawn) satellite would be launched into space by mid March.

Deputy Head of the Industry and Research Institute of the Iranian Defense Ministry, Mohammad Eslami stressed Iran would certainly send "Fajr" satellite into space and added, "Iranian researchers have made correction on systems of the satellite from experiences they obtained from student satellite "Rasade1" (Observation 1) and God willing it will be put inside the orbit by mid March."

"Fajr satellite will be launched into space by Safir A1 (Ambassador A1) satellite carrier which will test a new technology that is one cold gas propulsion sub system for orbit transferring," Eslami said as providing details on the satellite.

Omid (Hope) was Iran's first domestically made satellite. Omid is a data-processing satellite for research and telecommunications. It was successfully launched on February 2009. After being launched by an Iranian-made carrier rocket, Safir 2, the satellite was placed into a low Earth orbit. The launch, which coincided with the 30th anniversary of the Iranian Revolution and was supervised by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, was also verified by NASA the following day as a success.

Head of ISA: Fajr can be launched during this month
In Farsi:

Google Translate gives me a rather 'poetic' translation of the article, but I think it says that they want to launch Fajr on 22 Bahman (11 February) and that the launch vehicle will be a Safir 1-B. Is that the Safir with a Cold Gas Kick Motor?

The February 11th launch date is being quoted on Iranian web sites, presumably from the same source.

Надо бы в заголовке темы Safir-1B поставить.

First stage of Safir-1A produces 32 tons thrust and first stage of Safir-1B produces 37 tons thrust (its impulse has been increased 5% compared to Safir-1A too).
Second stage of Safir-1A produces 3.4 tons thrust.
But I agree with you, Safir isnt suitable for launching heavier satellites to higher altitude orbits and as Iranian officials have announced they will use Simorgh for heavier satellites.
Most likely we will see first launch of Simorgh (for Tolu satellite) next year.

As I said before too, Thrust of Safir-1B engine is 37 tons compared to 32 tons of Safir-1A, Iranian officials say they could reach to this increase in thrust (and impulse) due to a new unique fuel that has been invented by Iran and is used for the first time in the world. They also says they have made some other changes on Safir-1B compared to Safir-1A.
Surely they will use such fuel and modifications on Simorgh too.

So, we see another unreliable announced news . It is this sort of reporting that not only plays in the hands of Iran's enemies but also imbeds uncertainty and lack of trust among Iranians.

Fajr will not be launched "by Feb. 11" rather next Persian year![/size]

Iran to Send Heavy Satellites into Orbit

TEHRAN (FNA)- Iran plans to send heavy satellites into orbit and is setting up a new launch base for this purpose, Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi said.   

Vahidi said Thursday that the base will be used to launch one-ton satellites into an orbit of 1,000 kilometers.

He said that among Iran's next year plans was the launch of Tolou (Rise) and Fajr (Dawn) satellites into orbit.

Fajr will not be launched "by Feb. 11" rather next Persian year!

Вот и я сильно сомневаюсь, что у иранцев получится запустить 2 спутника за 2 недели.  :?

Иран выведет на орбиту собственный спутник "Фаджр"
http://www.rg.ru/2012/02/21/fadjr-anons.html

Власти Ирана планируют в ближайшие месяцы запустить в космос спутник собственного производства "Фаджр".

Об этом сообщил во вторник глава иранского космического агентства Хамид Фазели.

Запуск спутника будет осуществлен в первые месяцы после наступления персидского нового года, который будет отмечаться 20 марта 2012 года.

По словам Х. Фазели, спутник оборудован камерами и оценочными системами, которые проверят работу оборудования на спутниках, ранее выведенных на орбиту.

Глава агентства отметил, что изначально запуск спутника был запланирован на начало февраля, когда в Иране праздновали 33-й годовщину Исламской революции 1979 года, однако миссия была отложена.

"Этот спутник может находиться в космосе полтора года и передавать снимки на станции на земле", - сказал Х. Фазели.

Iran to launch domestically-built Fajr satellite into space[/size]

Head of Iranian Space Agency (ISA) Hamid Fazeli says the country plans to launch its domestically-built Fajr (Dawn) satellite into space during early months of the new Iranian calendar year (commencing on March 20).

Fajr is a measurement and imaging satellite that will examine subsystems used in previous satellites, Fazeli told IRNA on Tuesday.

He added that the manufacturing work of the satellite is still underway and nearly complete.

He noted that the national Fajr satellite will be placed in elliptical orbit of 400 km in radius and will remain in space for a year and a half.

The ISA head stated that the project was originally scheduled to launch during the Ten Days of Dawn (February 1-10) celebrations, marking the 33th anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution, but was postponed for better preparedness"[/size]

Iran to put new satellite into orbit[/size]
Thu Mar 1, 2012 12:12PM GMT

Iran is planning to launch its indigenous Fajr satellite into orbit in the upcoming months, marking a "remarkable breakthrough" for the country's space technology, the head of Iran Space Agency (ISA) says.

The Fajr satellite, which currently undergoes its preparatory phase, will be put into space in the first few months of the next Persian calendar year (starting on March 20), said Hamid Fazeli on Wednesday.

The upcoming launch of Fajr heralds a "remarkable breakthrough" for Iran's space technology, as the event marks the transition of Iran's satellite technology from research orbiters to practical and operational satellites, Fazeli pointed out.

Fajr was slated to be launched before the end of the current Iranian year (ending on March 19); however, the plan was postponed to the following year due to some pilot tests, he noted.

The 60-kilogram satellite, which is powered by solar cells, will circle the Earth at an altitude of about 400 kilometers and will stay in orbit for a period of one and a half years.

The satellite will be used to facilitate activities related to agriculture, conservation of natural resources and forests, management of natural disasters and other data collection purposes, the ISA chief said.[/size]
