Iran has efficiently launched its distant sensing and imaging satellite tv for pc, known as “Pars 1,” on Thursday morning. The nation has acquired alerts from this satellite tv for pc, launched from Russia’s Vostochny launch base utilizing a Soyuz launcher.
This Iranian satellite tv for pc will be capable to ship high-resolution photographs of areas from its orbit at 500 km above Earth. Reportedly, the rocket additionally transported the climate satellite tv for pc of Russia together with seventeen of the nation’s small satellites.
Headed by the Iranian Space Research Institute, Iran’s satellite tv for pc design and total performance are thought of groundbreaking improvements within the nation’s area analysis applications. During a press convention held earlier than the launch, Iranian Minister of Information and Communication Technology, Issa Zarepour, acknowledged,
Pars 1, an imaging satellite tv for pc, has been solely produced inside Iran.
He additionally stated that many satellite tv for pc applications are underway and are scheduled to launch in 2025.
The Pars 1 satellite tv for pc, weighing 134 kg, comes below Iran’s analysis and measurement satellite tv for pc initiatives. To have essentially the most environment friendly and high-resolution photographs, this low-earth orbit satellite tv for pc additionally carried a 15-meter digital camera to ship floor location photographs from above.
Pars 1 has three imaging cameras that may seize seen, short-wave infrared, and thermal infrared spectral ranges. Reports counsel that the thermal infrared digital camera, which incorporates imaging at evening, is able to imaging the entire nation inside 45 days. Moreover, the colour spectrum and short-wave infrared digital camera are additionally outfitted with applied sciences that may cowl 95% of Iran’s territory inside 100 days.
This newest Iranian satellite tv for pc can carry out numerous duties apart from imaging. It can conduct photo voltaic panel mechanism checks, orbit correction with chilly gasoline stress, energy administration checks, and extra.
Additionally, the superior applied sciences used within the Pars 1 satellite tv for pc embrace a number of frequency band telecommunication hyperlinks, GPS positioning sensors, and plenty of different options.
