| Abstract: |
Iran joined a select group of nations having
indigenous satellite launch capability, when it
orbited its Omid satellite on the night of February
02, 2009 on board its indigenously developed
launch vehicle Safir 2. The event was widely
covered in the media and images and video
footage of the launch have been posted on the
internet.
According to the media information Safir is a
two stage launch vehicle and Omid is a 27 kg
‘store and forward’ communication satellite with
a life of 2 to 3 months. The satellite is placed in
248 x 378 km and orbits the earth 15 times
a day. |
