According to Iran’s semi-official news agency Tasnim, Iran has launched its indigenously developed “Kosar” satellite capable of capturing high-resolution images, and the “Hudhu” satellite, designed to provide communication services for smart devices. I have sent it to Russia.
The news did not provide any information about the launch dates of these satellites manufactured by a private company, but according to other details, the production of the Kosar satellite was started in 2019. The satellite is capable of capturing high-resolution images and is designed for use in fields such as agriculture, natural resources, environment, and crisis management.
Russia launched Iranian satellites into orbit in 2022 and again in February of this year. The increasing cooperation between the two countries in the space sector has raised concerns among U.S. officials.
U.S. officials stated that these satellites would enhance Iran’s capabilities to assist Russia in the Ukraine war and monitor military targets in Israel and the Middle East, which is a matter of concern for us.
